I did this on my Cherokee, just ran the lines up to the firewall in front and the gas filler cap in back. You could also just get a long piece, loop it over & over, then put in a 1-way valve - as long as you don't sit still too long in the water, the loops will prevent water from coming into the difs (sorta like a P-trap).

For a novice how can I identify the correct lines to extend?

My vehicle may occasionally be attracted to small puddles

Just remember there's a difference between a momentary immersion like crossing a stream and prolonged driving in deep water. Water intrusion can cause very expensive damage.

Salt Water is your enemy

After any deep water fording (deeper than centerline of axles) it wouldn't hurt to check fluid in diffs, trans and t-case for water.

If the oil looks green and foamy you have got water in there.
Drain and flush and drive and drain and flush again to get all the water out.
