Actually, be aware that the TM leveling kit increases the lift to 1.5", not 2". When I installed mine, I located it above the strut hat and under the perch (with the new bolts configuration). I have not had any problems with this for close to two years now. I am still using the original struts and suspension components. The only thing I have replaced on my truck in 85K miles were the sway bar end links....thats it.

or can i just use the same part which i'll take of the old strut, will it fit?
Don't quote me on this, but I believe when I had the TM leveling kit installed, I ran into a problem because I did not have new top plates, I am pretty sure my mechanic had to spot weld each of the 3 bolts on my factory stock plate, because they spun in the plate after the tension was removed. Not 100% sure though, but might as well invest.
