    They aren't necessary, but they sure are nice to have! A good set of front shocks will drastically reduce the abuse your arms will take, and a good rear shock will keep your butt from getting too saddle sore. I'd say the rear shock is not quite as important as the front because you're usually standing up off the seat while riding in the really rough stuff anyway.
