Rockers are probably ok but you should get springs matched to that setup, and make sure you have the right pushrods as well.

Are the new lifters solid or hyd, if hyd, the rockers will work, if solid, you need rockers for solid lifters, and as 85e150 said.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered the springs that are recommended and the tool to measure pushrods. Lifters are hydraulic so it looks like I don't need to get rockers just yet. I got plenty of other things to replace first
