I've found a couple shops I could drive to and get the work done. but I'd also consider paying someone whos done what I am trying to do already and knows exactly what to do... $9K expense though, that's probably half the value of my 4runner. damn.

No I chopped out hard lines and actuators with bolt cutters.. very easy to remove.. hard lines pull out easy. The actuators have a couple of bolts than they are off. Removal when you go Conan (but not like the suspension) is actually very easy!!!
I have two 4 runners. My 21 Still has XREAS and my 16 is heavily modified now.
FOr the front shocks get a tie rod bearing press/puller. I have details on mine but basically you mount the jaws on the fitting and slowly press out the bolt.. make life very easy. I of course bought this after the disaster..
