I ordered some Bilstein 4600s and will be doing the replacement over the Christmas holiday.

Take photos of the springs to get orientation correct. I put mine in backwards the first time.

I also used, with success, the no spring compressor method. I was replacing the LCAs anyway, so no big deal.

Be ready for a mess. That stuff in the struts gets everywhere, even being careful.

Be prepared for the top bolts to shear off. I had to cut away the rears.

Otherwise, it's really not the worst job. While you're at it, I'd replace the sway bushings.

I wanted you all to know that I replaced the front and rear suspension over the holidays and that fixed my problem. I did not replace the springs, I only replaced the shocks. But everything is driving well and the sound is gone. I took my old Front struts to a local shop and paid a guy $40 to put the springs onto the new front shocks. I figured that was an easy and safe way and I would’ve had to rent a spring compressor from AutoZone anyway. Thanks to everyone who helped me diagnose and find guides to fix the issue.
