It depends on the length of the a-arms. If they're stock length, then no you don't. But, if they're extended a-arms then yes you need to buy them as a package deal. Your stock shocks will be WAY too soft without doing so.

You do NOT have to buy shocks at the same time. I ran stock shocks on my +2 arms for over a year. I finally got my shocks revalved and resprung by JH racing, and it's much better than stock, but you can get by on stockers if you want.

also, if you get LT(long travel) then yes of course you will need new shocks, but stocker will work fine with some good +2 or +3 standard travel a-arms.

yeah....like they said if you buy a-arms and want the stock shox then go w/ standard travel a-arms...but if you are considering any racing I would suggest Long Travel ot LT....

I went with +2+1 Burgards and after some adjusting in the front it feels pretty good.Eventually id like to do the Gt Thunder Rebuild.
