I did a lot of off-roading in my 2008 VW Rabbit/Golf. Thought about getting a small lift, until I saw the price for it - mostly just those rubber spacers for $700+. It did very well on well maintained gravel roads, but a rock did in the oil pan a few years ago and lead to some considerable inconvenience and expense. See what armor you can add and be sure your tires are rated for A/T.

A rock actually broke the oilplan on my previous car also, although that was lowered alot (atleast 2" front and rear).

I have found some armor for my car, I just need to find out how to attach it, and the tires will be replaced with good quality 235/60-16 A/T tires once they need replacing. (am also thinking about creating a project thread at some point)
