Yeah... mines a daily driver, and I drive to and from my college every couple of weekends and so my machine gets alot of highway use along with the interstate. I run my cars fast alot (dont get caught, a ticket for going 78 in a 55 is about 250 big ones), so I need to know how well a jeep will run with a quality 3" lift and 31 inch tires at speeds of 70-80 mph?
As far as ride, it's not too bad. I like my vehicles to "react" to the road so I don't mind but it's definitely not plush.

A buddy of mine runs 33s on a stock dd, no problem. He also flogs the crap out of his 94 and has not had an issue.
