Winter Alignment Questions/ Suggestions

Hello all,

I am looking to get a second alignment for my Endura Tech Coilovers to better combat the snow fall I experience. My front end is roughly 3-4 inches off the ground right now as a result of current alignment and front lip. I would guess the front ride height is approximately down about 1.25-1.5" and probably closer to 1" in the rear. I experience a decent amount of snow in Illinois and would like to stop acting as a snow plow when more than 3" piles up.

What is the highest reasonable ride height I can go up to without compromising ride or handling?
Do you have a decent "offroad Evo" alignment that you would recommend?

Thanks!

Id think stock height and soften up the dampers the best you can. Back when I actually brought mine in for a winter alignment, Id just have them put it at stock specs. The past two winters, Ive swapped springs/shocks/tires and just ran it with no additional alignment. And have had 0 signs of abnormal wear. Ironically, I get a spring-time alignment every year, and the past two have led to cupped summer tires.

I was hoping I might be able to jack it up rally style and have some serious snow fun (maybe even some light offroad?). I wonder what the max height allowed by the coils is...
