No. At least, not from the lift itself.
You may need them if you use rockers that have any chance of surviving, however; nearly all rockers that can move that far will use Poly-Locks, which are too tall to fit. Or, if you have roller rockers and center-bolt valve covers, the thing for the bolts might not fit down between the rockers; or, the oil baffles for PCV may not fit in there either.

I'm planning on going with the Vortec TPI set-up from Scoggin Dickey. I think they set-up the heads with the LT4 valvetrain. I'm still researching, and I want to cover all bases.
Thanks

You can always be cheap and do what I did...grind out the baffles on the stock valvecovers. I've got a set of 1.6 full roller rockers with poly locks and they fit under the factory valvecovers. Very sleeper. 
Course you've got a LOT more lift there than I do so that still might not work with those rockers.
