It won't interfere with approach or departure angles, since it's so close to the wheels. It won't be a problem in the snow, since the front dam should gently push snow aside, and the rear dam will ride in the wake of the tire. All you need is enough ground clearance for the biggest pothole you're ever going to hit, or the biggest curb you're ever going to drive up and over. I say make it out of rubber or cardboard, and let it end two inches from the ground.
