Getting the Wheeling Fever

The subject line says it all. I have a 97 Trooper 3.2V6 with 127,000 miles. The lifters are starting to make some noise so, back in the old days if you replaced the lifters you would also the cam shaft as well, do I still need to do this for these engines? My instinct tells me yes, but what say you guys?
