Any recommendations? Stock height, 99% street driving. I'm a big fan of the bilsteins I put in the rear, but unfortunately I can't find equivalents for the front. Would be doing a spring/strut assembly for ease of install.
AC Delco gold? KYB? Monroe?

Year, make, model, trim?

Without this information, we cannot help you out too much.

Yeah OP, there are two versions of Bilstein front struts for the GMT900: the 4600s, and 5100s.

This is why it's always a smart thing to include vehicle info, as mentioned.

Here are the 5100s: https://www.shocksurplus.com/products/bilstein-5100-monotube-shocks-bundcomperr-24-186940

4600 vs 5100

Look away from the Ford link and concentrate on the Bilstein words. It’s a good write up from shock warehouse on post # 3 or 4

I see front strut shocks on the Bilstein site for your truck.

I recognize that you want the entire strut assembly already assembled, but the assembly can be disassembled/reassembled by a local repair shop with a heavy duty spring compressor. If you do any wrenching at all, these strut assemblies can be removed and reinstalled by you.
