Yeah I don't recommend going that fast in a 4x4. It feels like you're going to roll over. To much air underneath.

Get a crotch rocket for going fast. You can throw it in the bed of the truck when you want to go slow.

When I bought mine I got it to around 120... not sure exactly how fast... i was more concerned about the road ahead.
2001 1500 5.9 4x4 on 245/75/16

I should try it again with the mods I've done...

Poor dog lol... Ive had mine at the limiter a few times and it still had more to go, I took the governor out with the Hypertech programmer, but i havent tried to see how fast she goes since then. Really not a good idea in a 5,500 pound vehicle with a high center of gravity....
