I have driven Civics over curbs or sharp transitions like that with no ill effects. With a `150, I would expect it to handle it fine. From the description, which I am not 100% clear about, sounds fairly benign. Going the other way might be cause for more concern.

Run your finger around the wheel rim -- it will probably be OK unless you have hit something else. If you are really worried about this, go to someplace and ask them to check the alignment. Should be OK there as well.

Might also need to shop for some thicker skin for forums such as this.

Sometimes we learn much more by "the question" because it creates a string of thoughts and different perspectives. I've learned that if I am ever concerned about running over "anything" of questionable size the course of action that should be taken. 2" or 2' the steps to insuring your good to go are pretty much the same.
The most important lesson learned is to ask Chat GPT prior to opening myself to some of you guys! Lol

You're asking questions a 16 year old with no mechanical knowledge would ask.

Whatever will you do if you ever have to go over a speed bump?

Trucks are designed to be abused. Under extremely harsh conditions. A 4 inch drop will not do anything to almost all passenger cars. To a fullsize truck it's not even a blip on the radar. Anyone who has ever seen a truck driven would know this.

You're getting "immature" answers because your questions are infantile.
Be nice ! Some people are not or do not have any, I do mean Any Mechanical Knowledge at all !! The man is on a trip with his family . He is just asking a Simple Question.

Drop it into 4L and floor it
Yep that’s it! Great advice! Maybe should take off the rest of the tires before flooring it? Turn on sport mode too.
