No, you don't need new shocks. I'm not sure if you need new u-bolts but you should be able to look at the thread on yours and see if you will be ok.

The U bolts should have just enough thread left, but i'm not making any guarantees on it.

I would order the U-bolts to be safe, make sure you dont get the "heavy duty 7700" U-bolts.

shocks will be fine, but if you go lower then 2" i would get 2wd application shocks
