Default Stock shocks?

Hello guys.... Quick question, I still have my original stock suspension kit from my 06 Z which its been in my garage for 4 years now. My tein flex kit is in need of revalving and resetting. My question is can I still use my stock suspension since it has not been in commission for number of years? Is it still safe to do so? Should I be worried about something? I changed my kit when it was only 7000 miles. I did not see any cracks or Bends on my stock kit. A little dusty but still looks good..... Please need advice. Thanks in advance.

Perfectly fine, I would use a soft cloth with something like motor oil on it and wipe off the piston shafts on the shocks.

Revalving, why would your Tein fle need revalving? Did you mean rebuilding?

I'm just concern that it has not been used for years and internal parts might not be working properly. You know how sometimes rubber parts, bushings and like gets brittle over time when not use. Just the concept of that makes me think i should do something first before installing it back..... Thank you though
