If you need meet PPV option, the only choice from after-market is Monroe, or go to OEM Ac-Delco.

No PPV choice in Bilstein.

I'm running Rancho 9 way adjustable struts (RS999784) mounted under the lower control arms with Rough Country grade 9 hardware.

I like them much better than the Belltech drop shocks I had on there before.

'08 Suburban with 4/6 drop kit just for the record.

Not sure if you are looking to go lower or just keep the PPV stance.

I rode with them on 7 for a long time. I recently turned them up to 9.

I prefer a firmer ride, that is why I didn't care for the Belltech drop struts too much.

From the pix you posted, the strut bottom bracket was installed under the front lower control arm, it should be installed above the front lower control arm according OEM setup.
