So i need new front struts. What way to go, should i get oe struts and drop springs orrrr get the adjustable struts and leave the oe springs? Idk if they’ve ever been changed and i have 128k miles. Im also trying to do this the most cost savings way too haha

Springs change the ride quality the most. If you like the way it feels now, go with the lowering struts unless you find drop springs that are known to ride good.

I have the Belltech adjustable struts and I think they ride great- very stock-like. I want more drop so they may be coming out soon. How much are you looking to lower your front?

thats what i was thinking but wanted more experienced opinions.

1-1.5” just to have a little rake to make up for the way tahoes have that rearward slope

Is there a trim piece missing from across the top of my windshield?

Adjustable struts would be perfect for this. I'd have to find the info in my build thread, but I believe I got right about 1.75" of drop out of the BT struts set for their maximum drop. I don't know why I didn't get the full advertised 2", but whatever. The spindles did the same- about 1.75". I want about .75" more drop and am looking at trying the relocators on stock struts. I'd offer you my BT struts, but I'm sure you'll be doing yours much sooner than I'll be doing mine.

Can’t you see me Tony? :p

I am at the shop waiting for my oils change.

About a month ago when we had that record flooding this parking lot was under water. It didn’t make it into the waiting room floor here but it did get it he shop floor. And behind my truck there in the street behind that fence any cars there were flooded and or floating.

rotors came out nice, he charged me $17 each said the bigger rotors are usually $27 but he gave me a deal, now i just need to order some more of the new copper free pads like I put on the Silverado they work pretty good whatever the new material is they use it bites well.
couple little flea bite chips from turning but nothing bad, they didn't need much there isn't a lip edge so he did them just right
