Thanks guys for all the feedback.
The plan is not to run at a constant 100 mph, but I hear your concerns.
Also said, I adapt my driving to the road conditions.
I have run @ 93 MPH over 250 miles (fairly straight road) feeling very comfortable on 33s.
Maybe a different story on 35s.
A more realistic speed would be about 85 MPH.
The KM2 are also rated for 100 MPH as per BFG for a Q rated tyre.

Do you guys maybe know the RPM @ 85?

Although you are probably already aware, there have been a few stock T-case failures on lifted JK's running 5.13's or higher at speed. From the threads it looks like it might have been caused by vibrations from front pinion angles/driveshaft balance.

ETA - My best friend was driving, and we were on a lonely interstate at night. Not only do I have zero desire to drive that fast, it would be hypocritical in my line of work. My top speed is 60, even though the interstates around here are 70.

HAHA woah oh no don't want to break the law mate. Eh once you go past stock tires there really is no going 100. I use to push a hundred all the time in my old silver 4 door. Really got to moving. I also have a radar detector which was paid off in the long run for each time that I DIDNT get a ticket. Or if you have the cash then go big and throw a beast engine in there and really show off to them boys.
