best way to level

New to the raptor scene here -
Can anyone provide solid information on the best way to level one of these trucks (2019) I’ve been searching forum after forum and I keep coming up short on info. What is the best way new springs (progressive rate) / perch adjustment collars / coil over spacers ?

(Coilover spacers)
Everyone says that the spacers will tear up cv joints - but why? Correct me if I am wrong if you change the ride height of the truck you are going to increase the angle of the cv joint no matter how you do it.

(Perch collars)
The idea of the perch collar is to shorten the length of the coil spring in turn making it stiffer which raises the height of the truck - does the truck ride worse in the front because of this?

(Progressive rate coils)
Longer? Stiffer? do they ride better than a perch collar?

Any insight would be awesome Thanks!!

Eibach springs are a very good way to go, and by far one of the most popular. They are a linear rate spring very close to the factory spring rate, so the ride isn't ruined but being linear, it gets rid of that soft boat like ride feeling and basically gets rid of all the nose dive under braking. These actually just came back into stock and are still 10% off till April 30th.

Next option would be perch collars that preload the spring so you aren't making the coilover assembly longer which would cause over extending the suspension components.

Spacers on top of coilovers - no, no bueno.
