Where do you want to go over 100? Other than a dry lake bed, not anywhere in the desert I know of.

Need a tuner to do it. It's a safety measure put in place to keep owners from shreading tires at high speed. The speed rating on the BFG's can't sustain over 100mph.

BFG's on the Raptor are SVT spec and are actually S-rated (112mph). "Regular" BFG A/T 315/70R17s are R-rated (106mph).

Drive shaft is also speed rated thats why I am changing mine (see thread above)

Thanks for the input,
As for where do I go 100 mph, I have a few less traveled interstates around
here where I like to try out new toys, Vette 155mph, Valkyrie motorcycle, 138 mph , F8 Cat snowmobile 125mph ( I did not have the balls to go faster) it would. I like to know what stuff will do incase you need it sometime.

and the truck gets to 100mph so easy it is a shame to shut it down but I can see the tires being a weak link.... but never would have guessed the drive shafts would be a issue...

That's what I thought also but after talking with Greg foutz he drove the raptor r in the baja 1000.he said it was the weak link.

Agreed. The drive shaft isn't meant for much faster then 100mph and can be extremely dangerous if it blows out at that speed as you could imagine.
