Leveling kit?

I’m replacing my shock/ strut assembly and the used ones have a set of 2 inch leveling kit on them this wasn’t on my old set should I just leave them on when I install them. There is nothing on the back and the truck does sit high just not sure. Including some pictures as well 2 have the assembly I’m putting on with the leveling kit and I’m also including the picture of the old upper strut mount with the hard plastic mount for the top of the coil spring. There is a picture of my truck also included.
Thanks for your advice in advance.

I guess whether or not you want to maintain the 'level' appearance from front to rear would determine if you swap the parts over to the new struts. I'm actually thinking of leveling mine by dropping the rear to match the front. This would make the truck easier to use for me as far as access to the bed. But if you like the look of the taller truck go for it.

Thumbs up Leveling kit

Hi I appreciate your opinion on if I should change them over and I have decided to switch them over with the leveling kit on them kind of like the higher look of the truck. Thanks again.

Great, and after thinking about my situation I don't think there is an easy way to lower the back end 2" so I guess I'll keep living with it - been living with it since 1/07 so I guess I can keep on.
