It is usually strongly recommended to replace your struts/shocks with new units.

You dont absolutely have to replace shocks but it is recommended. Ive changed over to Pedders springs with stock shocks - and koni yellow adjustables are definetly on the to do list! The ride does get a little bouncy with standard shocks.

I'd recommend getting the back arches lipped and there is a bolt in the top of the wheel arch that holds in the rear bumper that you might need to change out if it still scrapes.
