Default Changing Cams

I am looking at changeing the cams on my 2007 Ultra. I am thinking about changing to Andrews H37. If I change the cams do I need to change the lifters at the same time. Andrews wed says that the stock lifters are fine but would i be smart to change to new stock lifters are use the ones that I have. I have a little over 50,000 on bike now.
Thanks

Lifters would be cheap insurance while you're in there.

Yeah, at 50K, I'd probably go ahead and swap in a fresh set.
