need suspension tips

got my 06, running sweet with the edge tuner, k and m intake, and a magnaflow. only thing is, when i get into the 90's on the speedo the truck feels squirrely. almost white knuckle time. any ideas on how to fix this?

Don't do 90.


If you must, try adding some weight in the bed to give it some added grip.

What kind of truck do you have? I agree don't do 90, but I have an 04 4x4 SuperCrew that is stable all the way up. 80 is the norm in Michigan and she's always stable.

get your alignment checked out. you should have no problems at 90. i've had both the current truck and the previous one (04 reg cab sb 5.4) in the triple digits and they're rock solid. and fill up your gas tank for more weight in the back
