It traps pressure similar to an overflow tank on a coolant system and is not a true "breather". I would be leary that too much pressure may cause failure. I'd go with the proven "up high" method.

Agreed, most of the work involves replacement of the nipples at the diff and actuator. Routing the hoses is the easy part. Actually, it's all pretty easy.
