Default Shock absorber remove/replace?

hey i have an 07 fxdl\\;
my question is how do you remove or change the shocks on your bike?&nbsp\\;
i mean, i know how, but do you need to lift it so the rear tire drops, do you have to do one side at a time?&nbsp\\;
I wanted to remove the chrome cover from the fender strut thats why I ask, and someday plan on changing to progressive lowered shocks.&nbsp\\;
just curious how this process is done, thanks!

One side at a time and it's easier with a lift.
