No, the regular 6" curbs will do it. Just imagine a 3100+ ibs object abruptly hitting something that will pretty much instantly stop the it. That's A LOT of energy to instantly stop. The wheels, then the control arms, axles, then the chassis absorbs that energy.
I'm sure the drivetrain doesn't like the impact either.

if you hit something hard enough to crack stock rims you most likely bent a control arm or tie rod...best thing to do is take to a shop that has someone good at aligning (Like a shop that does corner weight balancing)....if they have a good understanding of suspension they should be able to tell you whats wrong

about 7 years ago on Christmas morning in a snow storm, while driving like a jackass in my eclipse, I hopped a curb. Ended up having to have the frame pulled to get it straight. cost around 1200, but if i remember correctly, they charge per pull.
