it is not required but it is recommended. if you don't get new shocks, your stock ones will blow eventually. the problem with that is, now you have to pay to have new shocks installed. the install of the shocks and the install of the springs is EXACTLY the same. so you would eventually be paying to have the same job done twice. its much easier to go ahead and replace the shocks while you are replacing the springs.

I agree I would do it all at once other wise you will have to do it later anyway
