Trust me, you've got nothing to worry about if you drive around with a 2" drop in snow.
Unless your snowplow crew doesn't clear it for some reason and it accumulates to a foot of snow, you'll be fine. If it's ever that bad, you probably shouldn't be driving anyways
If you get coils it's possible to just raise them up. It really shouldn't take too much time (especially if you already have the wheels off to put on snow tires). So that's always a possibility as well.
I drove a drop that was much lower than 2 inches in the heavy winters of Northeastern ohio with no problem.

and this too hahah what r u running dimension height and clearence wise and rim size?
I am thinking about purchasing the VMAXX coil over’s. For those of you who have them, how do they affect the ride? My mini is lowered already but not with coil over’s and is not adjustable. My ride is just about the same as it was when I bought her. I want to keep ride quality while enjoying the added benefits of lowering her.
