I haven't been around many of the superdutys in particular but I've heard alot about the ball joints in the 99 up trucks. Just check out the front end really good, make sure the front tires don't have a real bad lean or anything, especially with a lift. Beyond that there really shouldn't be too many issues with that kind of milage. Make sure the tranny shifts good and look for crappy fabrication or "rigged" parts. Just my .02. Hope it helps
