You don't have too but it would be highly advisable to do so.

You'll have to put a camber kit on the rear or you'll where out the insides of the tyres

Jack car up under diff, put in your SSL's, bolt on your shocks and let the suspension hang at full extension and see if you can pull the spring out.

they can come out pretty easy only need to give them a bump and they come out. shocks are still nearly brand new so i was thinking it would have to be a hell of a bump to get the ass up high enough for them to come out

I think its more so going in and out of driveways on the angle where they can pop out / pop sideways and either give you issues then and there or later on down the road.
