As the title says, I just replaced the front shocks, reused the stock springs. Do I need to rush out and get a front end alignment?

If you like your tires, yes.

If you changed your ride height, or loosened the front lower control arm mount bolts, or even loosened the tie rod jamnuts then yes, you need a front end alignment.
Otherwise no , you don't need a front end alignment.

I work for a chevrolet dealer, and whenever i do struts on f bodys, ive never had to adjust the alignment after the install!!!!!! I always do an alignment inspection and the specs are always in!!!!!! So no your alignment should not need adjusting!!!!!

I'm guessing a lower ride height would need an alignment, right?

yes, because the camber goes negative when you put the car closer to the ground. ever see those ricer kids cut their springs and their wheels are angled in real bad and their tires wear on the inside edge. haha

so no you don't unless u touched the tie rod or lower control arm, or lowered the vehicles ride height
