No but your shocks will limit down-ward travel. JMO
And I didn't catch you before, so Welcome to CF.

Yeah you do not have change the shocks but if they are the stock shocks it is a good idea to replace them. It will ride alot better as well.

Buying new shocks as replacement would be the best option...
There are lots of affordable aftermarket shocks you can choose from which can give you great performance...

You will need to replace your coils for it...I used Adco (sp) for my front (adjustable from 1 to 5 inch)and teraflex for my rear. Unibodies like the GC have no such "body lifts" per se like pickups..as well as the shocks...

You do not need to replace the coils to do a 2" coil spacer lift,they can go right on top of the existing coils . If you're referring to "ACOS" they are adjustable coil spacers,if you mean "ADDCO" they are swaybars.
