You wouldn't need to change them, but you couldn't use the extra travel that the lift would give you. You would have mostly up travel but no droop.
I would say any gas shock available in your market would be good. I like Bilstein's myself.

Bilstiens are my choice after 45 years of testing different shocks and lifts Lol.

My truck will be getting Bilsteins when it's shock time. Old Man Emu and co were good 10 years ago but with the improvements in shocks of late, they're now not worth it in my opinion

I use KYB on all the hobby rides. Plus KYB stays with the Japanese theme. I even put them on my Willys Jeep.

Yea, Those have been around for 35 years. I used to put those on my 85 mini truck.
