Question Do I need new springs

I just ordered from FCPGroton a set of front and rear Bilsteins for my 2000 2.7t. as the original were shot.
Is it necessary to also replace the factory springs? The car is a bit shy of 100k miles.
I do NOT want to lower the car as I need the ground clearance.
All the info I could find on springs was about lowering kits...

Springs last 200-250k miles or more. If you got the standard suspension and Bilstein HD's, then you should be fine. The 'Sport' Bilsteins are for the OEM Sport suspension and are about .75" shorter.

My suspensions were stock and I ordered the Bilstein HD so I should be good!
Thank you for the answer!
