Cut a line like I did!!  It'll spray a little fluid, but just let it bleed and keep chopping!!!

Can't you just disconnect the shocks/struts at the disconnect points and leave the lines alone? Probably the easiest way to go about it.

If you start on the front you will get the leaking on each side as they make an X underneath your truck. I just cut that rubber part on mine, but mine were blown and leaking already so they didn't make much of a mess. lol
You can unbolt them at the correct spots and it won't leak, but where's the fun in that??!!

I don't know where a pic is, but it is between the to fittings at the shock, and at that canister in the middle of your frame. I'd say unscrew it at the canister then cut the rest. or...grab a bucket and man up and cut that sh%t!! Bwahahaha!! Really, it seems like a ton at first but it really isn't a lot that comes out. Wrap a rag around it, cut, let it drip into a bucket. ;)

Just pull it all and trash it. Remove the shocks and everything in between and put in new shocks.

Disconnect at the union that is about a foot away from the shocks. That is the safe way and you will only get a drop or 2. Then just remove the rest of the stuff without cutting the lines. If you had read about how to do it there are pictures in about everyone of those threads showing the union.
