Can you remove XREAS without suspending the entire suspension?

Title says it all. I'd rather not have to get all four ends off the ground to get rid of my XREAS. I'm not keeping it, it's going in the trash and getting replaced by Bilstein 5100's.

Thoughts? I've read up a bunch of removing XREAS, but this hasn't seemed to be covered yet. Any help is appreciated!

I pulled it off two members' 4runners and we didn't put all 4 in the air either time. Both leaked some, but they were getting trashed anyway.

What i did worked for me.

I took the bolt off the lower rear shocks and popped them off the post, that will make them fully extend. Then you can jack the front up and remove the fronts and then go to the rears. So you wont have to have it fully suspended.

Don't jack any tires up at all. Just disconnect the lines at the shocks and remove them. The fluid that comes out will be a couple ounces at most. I also went ahead and disconnected the front lines at the hard lines so they wouldn't be in the way. Left the rest of the lines in place since they aren't hurting a thing sitting there.

Since they are cross linked, in theory, you could get by with lifting one front, and the opposite side rear. Disconnect the system, then repeat on the remaining two.

Since you are not intending to keep the X-reas system, you should be able to disconnect at the connect points on the frame. Will create a mess.
