I just ordered a level kit that has 2.5 inch level, I have an 01 dodge 4x4 360, do I need to replace te shocks or can I make the stock ones work for a little bit?

stock ones will work fine for awhile. you will want new shocks before winter though, or they will crap out by the middle of winter.

I believe you'll be fine, unless of course you wheel it or plan on taking it over some sweet jumps. Stock length shocks are fine for normal driving for up to 3" spacers.
