it depends. most companies' shocks work with a varied amount of lift find out the p/n on the shocks and see what range they fall in

Unless the kit came with shocks you will need new ones anyway but either way I would get new ones soon, but the shocks that might have come with the kit will be just fine until you flex the suspension.
