Most modern cars, sure, but I wouldn't feel the same about a lifted truck with 36" mud terrain tires as mentioned in that thread. In a stock solid axle pickup, you somewhat frequently encounter what is referred to as a "death wobble" where the whole vehicle shakes, even at moderate speeds. Suspensions in full size trucks are commonly using 1950's era tech, not modern double wishbone or multilink setups that many cars have. This ignores that when you get into triple digit speeds, even small things like wheel balancing can make a huge difference for safety and performance (ignoring speed rating of tires). Most of the people commenting in that thread seemed to have lifted trucks (ignoring body vs suspension lifts or that they took cheap route to do so, e.g. grade 5 vs 8 hardware), so they are already changing things like center of gravity, aero and handling.
