What? Lifting the LCA will put more load on the shock and make it harder to get out.
What I did was undo the bolts inside the trunk with the car on the ground, then jack it up so both wheels were in the air and suspension at full droop. Undo the bolt holding the shock to the LCA and then just pull the shock out.
It took me less than 45 minutes to pull both rear shocks, remove the stock springs, put on the lowering springs, put the shocks back in and set the car back on the ground. You don't even need to take the wheels off to do the rears.
