In my opinion, its always a good idea to put new shocks when installing a new leveling kit. If you do go with new shocks, the general consensus around here is rancho or bilstein. I installed superlift, and they ride pretty dang good for a $35 shock. All depends on what your budget is!!!

Yes, I have a procomp leveling kit on my truck, and I did put new shocks on..You don't HAVE to but you might wish you would've later on. Just make sure they are big enough to compensate for the level.
