Two of these sensors? in the front of my 09 Tahoe LTZ 5.3L 4x4. They both appear to be factory, both are connected to the harness, but they appear to be zip tied out of the way. Thoughts? I'm guessing they are something to do with the autoride/front shocks. Would this mean it's likely been replaced with different shocks and these were just tied aside to keep the cmolputer happy?

That would be my guess. I'm not familiar with the Tahoe autoride suspension though. Usually there is just a connector to plug into the top of the shock. It might be aftermarket resistor loads to keep the computer happy.

Look at the shocks. Are they OEM? If they appear to be OEM, they might have been replaced with passive OEM shocks or maybe stiffer (Z71?) shocks.

Correct on both counts. I went out and poked around a little more and found out the fronts have been replaced with Arnott/Bilstein passive shocks and those are in fact three resistors to keep the computer happy. Thanks for the help.
