He may be going faster than that

If I could I would but the LC is too big or a brick esp with KO2s. Its too unstable for me to drive at really high speeds. Also I am used to AMG brakes which the LC can't match. The maximum I drive it is around 100mph. I drive my 100 over 110 mph consistently but the aggressive arb spring helps. It could be ko2s vs michelins LTX.
 
So have a question. Was driving the cruiser this weekend and i couldn't get it to go over 80 mph. I don't remember having that issue, also i dont drive that fast every time.

I know i have a heavier truck but can remember it being that sluggish. Don't want to take it to the dealership unless you guys think it might warrant further investigation.

I say heavy because i have ARB front bumper, winch, 2.5 inc lift, 33 inc tires, steel side steps, and rear bumper with swing out tire carrier.

I have not regeared the cruiser, didnt think i would need to unless i went with larger tires and i think i have an exhaust leak which i can hear slightly when accelerating next to a wall.

Any suggestions what i should check. Or would not being able to get over 80mph be normal.

I just dont remember it being that hard, especially being a V8.

Definitely not normal. I just towed a 2000lb trailer with another 1000lbs of people and gear in the truck over vail pass and the truck still does 80MPH without much strain. The summit is 10,662ft above sea level. At sea level the truck feels like a rocket to me as I'm used to the power loss from elevation.
