engine rpm

when i make long road trips i like to sometimes kick up the speed a bit on the highway. Most of the time i like to run about 80-85 mph. 85 mph in my truck=2500rpm and 90=about 2700rpm. Do these high rpms in anyway effect the longevity of the engine??? does it hurt to run the truck wide open 2800rpm for an extended period of time??? Because it seems to me the engine feels like it runs the best right at 2000rpm. all of the trips are bob tail with no load on the turck.
