I see these on ebay for less then $400 a set, (37 12.50 16.5) i was thinking about using these if i were to lift the superduty, what would i need to consider before purchasing these tires.

my brother in law bought a pair and had nothing but problems with them. they're bias ply, so he had a hard time getting them balanced. not to mention mention that they're 16.5's so your incredibly limited to rim choice in your particular lug pattern. just remember, they're cheap for a reason

What Josh said. In addition to all that you would have to deal with them flat spotting over night, pretty much every time you drive the truck it's going to have a rough ride for a few miles while the tires get round again.
Now if it were a trail truck I'd say heck yea go for it!

I met up with a guy who had them on his well build cj7 rig and he hated them. He was saying that they were decent on the trail (but not stellar) and on the road, they were hard to balance, loud, and a crappy ride in general
