I frequent Chicago area and drive over bump stops without issues. I will note that these bump stops are quite wide, it's like as soon as you over it with front, the rear goes over it. So that is big.
Note to all with H&R (I had a thread somewhere)
OP be on the look out for some noise when you steer, while stopped, or just at lower speeds. Mine came on like a year later. I think many here had this issue. Anyhow, 100% is the black boot/dust cover. I think as the strut turns, the dust cover doesn't move as it's attached to the upper mount and pressed in by the bump stop. Since the boot is longer on the HR spring, it binds somewhere, bottom by the strut or the top at the mount part. Lubed the boot and the bump stop, in and out for both, and lubed the actual strut where the bottom of the boot sits. Also, lubed the strut (keep in mind the strut turns but the boot does not, so since the boot was long, it is possible it was catching on the strut). Anyhow, noise is gone for a month, quite. My initial thought was strut mount, as it sounded like it. Replaced the mount but the noise was still there, heck even worse as i cleaned the boot. After lubing those areas the noise was gone.
Hope this helps the community
