My intent was not to imply bad things would happen, just interesting things.

The first/last time the suspension work was done on my car I had to raise it to get over the speed bump right in front of my place. ...to 2 3/8ths inches, and it still wouldn't clear the tallest 10% without grinding. When it was re-done it came back a little higher, but still scrapes on at least one.

But that's solid metal; you lawn edging might well survive a speed bump. Since the flat part isn't as low as the curved part, will that help or hinder rebounding from the impact?

How many aluminum brackets and where? Three on each side behind the curve?
