you can use them but start saving for some new ones, that extra stress is going to make them blow out faster.... Just keep that in mind and start planning on getting new shocks before to long.... or if you are going to have someone else do it then remember it's probably about $150-$250 for installation for the springs, then you'll pay that again for the shocks... so buying everything first could save you $250.00... or just do it yourself

Good and accuriate information here from Sir_Nasty
New shocks would be ideal to replace along with your New Springs..

get new shocks. save yourself time and money. if you put springs in alone, you'll be looking to buy new shocks in a year or so. buy aftermarket shocks that will handle the springs and put them in at one time. it'll save you money later on installation and on top of that an extra day or less at the shop.
