09 Tahoe - Need help finding front shocks for ZW7

[Just Fishing]

Hello, I'm new to the forum.
I picked up a new to me 2009 Tahoe.
I started noticing some uneven bouncing at times, with the miles it has and going through this with my old S10, it's time for shocks!

Going from a 03 Blazer with the ZR2 package, this thing rides like a soft fluffy cloud.


My Tahoe has the ZW7 "PREMIUM SMOOTH RIDE CHAS PKG" without the auto ride stuff.
Normally i would go for the Bilstein "sport"/B8 shocks, but i'm trying to keep it soft and fluffy for the wife...

I found these for the rear.
PN: 25871225 / 540-433

But for the front i can't find anything that calls out "With ZW7"

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Your shock codes are on your RPO sheet, look for 6XX and 7XX. Then go here and have a look after punching in your VIN: https://parts-catalog.acdelco.com/catalog/catalog_search.php

These are mine: 20765171 - 540-460 (6RS and 7RS Shock Codes)

Maybe im going cross-eyed looking at it.
This is my rpo code sheet from the glove box.

6PB and 7PB and ACDelco says that's for a 540-460, gee what a coincidence! LOL

Nicely equipped truck, got an LT with HD Cooling, external transmission cooler and engine oil cooler with 3.42 gears and the 2-speed transfer case. Just missing the G80 which was not an option to my knowledge on those anyway.

I really wish it had the g80.

And thank you, im very happy with it.
Whomever made the original order, they set it up very nicely!

This has been within 100 miles of my location its whole life per carfax.

I also think i was the first person to take it "off road".
One very clean truck.
