Btw, that's a tall order.. Adjusting.. It's a PITA for the most part.. Pretty much need to change the alignment.

Air Bag setup? (Not kidding..)

nah no bags, that would ruin handling

do you think stock height would be good for off roading? nothing major like rocks or mud

If you just mean sandy trails, yes, stock is fine.

I added some Rally Armor universal flaps ($25). They work great for keeping big crap/rocks off the car (as well as keep it cleaner).

for my winter tires, i was able to fit 205/70R16 tires on my countryman

they are 27.3 inch OD vs the stock 225/45R18 tires of OD 25.9

so there is 1.4 inch od = .7 inch lift
