you should get an alignment.

If the mechanic is careful when installing the new shocks, then you shouldn't need an allignment. However, if you are doing a significant drop in ride height (i.e. changing to more aggressive springs or adding coilovers), your camber will get fuXc0red and you will need an allignment.

However, as a general rule it's probably a good idea to get one anyway. It should only cost $100 - $120 to have a 4-wheel allignment done.
