Default Speed Bumps!

My aprtment complex has like 10 speed bumps before I even pull into my parking area! I hate it so much since I got my ram. Because I can feel the bumps alot now compared to my older car. What bothers me the most is everyone flys right over them withought even stoping. And someone at the complex told me the just raised em a few inches last year cus people dont listen and slow down. Now these things are so big and every time I go over one my truck feels like its gunna break in half ....ughhhh Can speed bumps really mess up your truck? I always slow down for them but it still seems like it would still do damage ....... ughh

They won't hurt anything if you go over them real slow.

if they are asphalt you can pour gas on them... or you can move... sorry man, I hate speed bumps too. Bigger tires might help

Speed limit in my housing area is 15 mph, so that is how fast I normally go through unless it is around schoolbus time. Depending on the direction, there is 1 or 3 speed bumps. I slow down to like 5-10 with my wife's Beemer though.

At my old job there was a set like that when you pulled into the shoping center leading to my work I hit them like I do on my kx450f haulin *** it seems like its smoother.
