do leveling kits require new shocks?

from my searches about the different types of leveling kits, the question remains, which ones require new longer shockes and which ones do not? im only looking for a level stance and factory ride. BTW, the truck is a 2006 CC 350 8' bed. thanks.

I put a 3" Donahoe leveling kit on mine and It came with all new shocks. Regardless I would trash the cheap stock ones and get a good set of mono tube nitrogen gas filled shocks for your truck. The stock Ranchos are crap.
