No, the shock mount should be constant so it really depends on how your shocks are spec'd if you need new ones. If your shock are for 6-8" lift, you will most likely need to get 8"+ shocks.
At 6"+ you start running into odd driveline angles. You might be able to get by lowering the center bearing, but I doubt it. In fact I would expect you would need a CV or double ujoint on both the front and rear.
