No, you should not need new shocks. I'd suggest Daystar spacers.

I wouldn't recommend the ones that I have... I have the 2.5" spacers from Top Gun Customez. Ya, they do there job, but they are noisy. They squeak and rattle when going over speed bumps. And yes, I have taken them out and checked for broken welds and such...everything looks like new. Thinking about having them replaced under the lifetime warranty, then selling the replacements on ebay. I would recommend the Rancho Quick Lift system. It gives you the clearance for 35" tires and new shocks, without having a spacer, and without loosing you ride quality.

I've had Quick Lifts on for about two weeks now and I love them. As far as losing ride quality is concerned, you'll realize there's really nothing to lose once you get rid of the factory shocks. I also put RS9000XL on the rear. It's like a new truck

I had a set of Daystar spacers for years on a Jeep with no problems.
Also, Rancho doesn't make a Quicklift for 92 Broncos.

Get a set of Bilstien 5100 shocks (Front & Rear) with the adjustable lift. You can lift the front 2" and the rear 1". It's a good alternative and better performace wise than going with just spacers. I wish thats what I did.

Autospring is always a good choice and they are easy to install
