Definitely the suspension lift. I wouldn't go over 3" for a bodylift, and even that's pushing it in my opinion. Expect a severe drop in fuel efficiency but that's the price you pay for the off-road look. If there's any rust under the truck, hit all the suspension fasteners with some Liquid Wrench (or similar) a few days in advance to loosen everything up. Breaking bolts is never fun.

The more you pay for the lift, the better the kit is going to be. Companies put a lot of engineering dollars into these suspensions to maintain ride quality and safety so hit an F-150 forum and research who makes the best kit.

It'll be a fun project for you two, enjoy!
