I had a couple of 1/2t WC's up to 70 on looong downhills. One blew a tire. The other was knocking when it slowed to 50, had to come back with a trailer to haul it home. But they had 4.83's, and liked 50, and no more.
A tight motor ought to go 50? If the tires aren't 50 years old, within a pound er so of balance, and the drive shafts are properly aligned, and the transfer bearing's aren't totally slopped out. And snug front ends.
