When John Walker replaced the shocks on my '88 he highly recommended getting an alignment and when I took a drive a week afterwards to help the new shocks settle in and to get a feel for the car while the handling was not good, it was decidedly squirrely.

After the alignment the handling was perfect and the car was a joy to drive.

I don't know how old your shocks are but mine were original as far as I could tell and my ride hide raised significantly before settling down to a level a bit higher than before.

If your shocks are old, I would plan and budget for an alignment a couple of weeks after replacing them, then take the car for a drive after the shocks are replaced but before the alignment to feel the adverse effects on handling for yourself.
