OP, you're in Massachusetts - please keep in mind how many of your respondents are cruising the glass-smooth (and rarely rainy, much less snowy) streets of SoCal!

If I were in your shoes, I'd either choose something adjustable (air ride) or avoid dropping it too aggressively. Just my $0.02 based on where you're driving.

glass smooth?

ill admit socal doesn't have any snow (at least where I'm from) and minimal rain, but its nothing like glass-smooth.

Potholes left and right, along with debris and crap all over the road!

I give you guys props for riding slammed on stretched 19's and 20's. I hit enough stuff with the 18's on this normal +2 fitment that I hate to think what damage it would have been on the bigger wheels.

One of the streets I used to commute on has a bunch of tree root rut ridden sections. The roots push the asphalt up 3-5" in places. No straddling those roads. Taking out the oil or tranny pans doesn't sound like fun driving.
