Holycrap Phil????? I've never had my cruiser over 80mph. EVER! I can't imagine ever pushing her to 90?!?!?!?!?
With enough caster you should be able to drive at freeway speeds with one finger and take pictures
Your D light is out, don't you want the D?
It had been out for a while so when I pulled my ABS bulb I replaced it and I hated it. It has since been removed...I dont need no stink'n D light.
Mine is out too, I don't want the D.
Most 80 series cant go that fast because the front driveline vibs are too much to handle
where Im smooth as silk

Mine will do 90's no problem. That said, MPG probably approaches zero since i haven't regeared yet.

To OP - if you got caster bushings in a kit, try them.
Personally I used Landtanks plates to correct for 4" lift, I spent alot of time making mine drive as it did with factory springs, like his best - we've done the 'diff plate manufacturers' thing so decent info already about that.
If you have front spacers over the springs, then yes - plates aren't that much $$$ & when done you should be quite happy with improvement over no correction.
If you plan to use it on the freeway, I'd really get on it - if it's more a ranch vehicle the need for neutral steering is obviously less
2-3" is OME spring range, and they correct caster - and if the people who say "drives fine without" installed the bushings, they might have a "epiphany moment".
I drove for a long time on OMe Heavies w/o correction, it was "meh" - but When I finally installed the bushings it was a "why didn't I do it months ago!!!" moment.

Been there, done that. meh.
I take mine above 90 ALL the time. Hit 100 last month.....stock height OME with man a free spacers, around an inch.
