big blue is right, i drive my truck 85-90 on the highway all the time an dont have a problem.........now the guys are right about center of gravity an it being top heavy, i wouldn't go slalom through corners at 100 or even at 60 in a truck lifted that high but you can get the truck up to speeds an be safe you just haft to know the limitations of your truck

So I guess I'll take back my earlier comment. He could have been sitting in the OUO truck going over 100mph. Its not smart but its possible. I would want a full cage and 5 points going that fast in a truck that was that tall. And a long clear stretch of road so a simple mistake didnt result in the deaths of innocent bystanders.

are they just people standing along the side of the road waiting for an accident that wont happen? and from the above how would you have problems with tires bursting? those toyos are solid tires, infactcamotankers uses the same tires on monster rig (40x15.5r22, and 40x15.5r20)

he just has 10" less lift

hes running 6''s of lift.

i dont have a problem with my tires, i still haul around corners, like i did before.

the 41s aren't as heavy as a 46 but they're still no where near a good radial, they ride worse than a swamper TSL
