Hey everyone, my buddy has an F150 he wants to start his lift build-out. I'm a Toyota guy, so I'm not really familiar with his options. Can you help? Thanks!

Here's the rundown:
I have a 2016 F150 XLT FX4 3.5L Ecoboost, super crew, 6.5’ bed.

Bought these wheels: 17-Inch Forged Aluminum Bead-Lock Capable Wheels

I’d like to get 315/70/r17 tires. Need 3” lift. A front leveling kit alone supposedly works, but due to the weight of the rack and shell and tools, truck is already level.
Got a price to do 3” Rough Country lift, plus Falken Wildpeak AT3W, alignment, balancing, pull out and re-install factory TPMS sensors out the door for $3200.
Second option: Halo coil-over lift kit (sales guy said way better ride than the Rough Country lift) plus tires, etc. for $4600.

This truck is my daily driver. Only plan to go offroad a handful of times a year.
Thanks!
