We had to because the bolt that holds the bottom of the shock was seized. It's not much more work. The whole assembly should drop right out.

grab a framing hammer and start smacking **** j/k...BTW once the whole deal is out it'll be easy to get that bolt free.

you will need to unbolt one end of the LCA. i think the end that bolts to the trailing arm is easier to remove and put back in...
