The Mountaineer's nose is already superior to one with healthy attached flow.
The airdam,if a little bit lower, would get the air around the nose,and restrict its access to underneath.The air below the airdam would have a straight shot to the rear.
The bash plate would be DIRECTING air under the Mountaineer,and even with a full belly pan it's a no-no.A great way to create front lift.
From your sketch it looked like you could maintain your off road approach angle clearance if the airdam was even with the bottom of the suspensions naughty bits.
The belly pan would be dead even with the bottom of the airdam.
And if you do the pan,then you can think of a diffuser,which will kick in a little additional efficiency.
