Only over big speed bumps and VERY steep driveways. I have to take them at an angle. Not too big of a deal.

I'm using tires that are 2" shorter, So that lowers me 1". Getting tall tires on the 18's will make it ride too soft and not handle the corners very well.

A simple tune will fix the speedo. Even if you don't want to tune, it will only be off about 4 mph at 60 mph.
