thast cool, but proabably the dumbest thing ive ever seen anyone do. one pothole, you're done. its at night and cars can change lanes right in front of you and never see you commin, you're done. again cool, but lots can go wrong very easily at that speed and it's just not worth it IMO. just be safe bro.

Thanks. The springs are DMS lowering springs (rear isolators removed), shocks are Koni DAs. The wheels in the pic are 18 x 9.5 all around. This pic has my new ones, 17s/18s.

dude, how you can be so ignorant to the safety of other people on the road is beyond me. i can only hope you dont take any innocent people out when you eventually end up a skidmark across 4 lanes.

i'm somewhat sry for the 'tude, but thats just ******* stupid and irresponsible as hell.

Damn dude, your ***** are a little bit too big. Ive gotten it up to 150 before, but it was a wide open empty highway and i got off it as soon as i got up to 150. That was just dangerous, I would trust myself to go that fast, its the other people on the road around me that worry me
