Yes you do, otherwise your shocks will top out on rebound ,and limit susp travel .

You will want to get new ones. If you are just driving on the street only you may get away with it for a little but if you go off the road I would get new. Some one chime in if Im wrong.

Question
 
Could I use 4-6 inch rough country shocks for a 3.75in lift? I'm asking because I'm going to put on a 3.75in lift now and I know I'll need shocks, but I want to get shocks that I don't need to replace again when I go higher. Anybody smarter then me know if this will work?

no... if its a DD then your fine... if you plan to wheel it an flex it out... you will need new longer shocks...

It's Not a DD but it is also not used for extreme 4x4ing right now. My question is if 4-6 inch lifted shocks are too long to run on a 3.75 inch lifted truck?

Uh... I think u should try it... if u ever decided to go bigger hen u would have the right shocks already... just gotta be careful of stuffing the tires...

Thanks I think I might go for it.
