You would have to pay me a pretty good amount of money to take my truck above 130. I need new shocks really bad but still you guys got some nuts going 150. Freaking crazy.

It feels nice and smooth at 130, but over 140 it feels like the truck is floating.

are we the only ones willing to go 145+ mph. it is pretty scary up there. my truck feels like its floating also.

I've never gotten up above about 120 but my shocks are REALLY getting bad and my truck probably is floating when it feels like it is, lol.

well, I dont like to brag but one time I hit about 175mph on my corvette HUD on my truck. It was very exciting when I hit my twin rocket boosters and the truck literally flew.

I've had mine to about 115. Had to test the removal of the top speed limiter

. Not the most comfortable feeling in a big truck, and with 4.88's I was pretty much topped out in 3rd.

It's against the law to tamper with speed limiters.

Federal regulations state this and it is in your owners manuals.
Heh Heh.
