Raising vent pipes for basement bathroom rough in.

Our basement has rough in plumbing for a shower and toilet. Also an ejector pit installed. The vents are connected with a horizontal pipe about 3 ft above the floor. I would like to raise the horizontal connection to at least 6 ft. That would give me easier access to the storage space behind the plumbing. We don't intend to add fixtures any time soon. Can the horizontal pipes be raised without any complications? Thanks for any information.

Awful lot of venting going on there. It almost likes radon venting under the foundation too.
Yes.... you can raise the horizontal vent runs with no adverse effects on the system operation.
