You will have to hit the tope at an angle; otherwise you will drag your hydraulic lifts.
You might find doing that 5000 times a day a bit tiring, especially when there is usually a vendor standing in the middle of each tope. Just slow right down to whatever speed your suspension demands and you won't have clearance problems. Misjudge your speed too much and you won't have any suspension left. Actually the really bad topes are those that are laid diagonally across the road. Just have a look at all the cars with only 4" clearance under their sills who seem to manage OK.
More danger is the several inches sudden-death drop off right at the edge of the tar on many country roads - even some of the toll roads.
