im definitely not gonna push it to 70 on the freeway, im just tired of filling up the tank every few days. also where i live in florida the chances of me hitting something that would cause bump steer is darn near 0, on top of that im running stock wheels which are practically rubber bands. as for brakes i dont think ill ever have an issue. i drove a deuce and a half owned by our county, got it up to 60 and with practically the same setup in my truck had no issue slowing down. my guess is some older folks cant push the pedal like they used to. my knees are still good, for now anyway!
