no, don't need new springs. If yours have lots of miles it wouldn't be a bad idea though. I just installed a crane 444232 cam in my 351 and LOVE it. My engine only had 3000 miles on it so I felt confident about my springs.

springs aren't a bad idea but you can always shim your stockers depending on your lift
