Nope take them both out at the same time. Because your stock shocks will be shorter than the lowering shocks. You cant fit a longer shock into a shorter space.

Strange...mine has 2 in the rear ...one for each shock. with threads into the swingarm.
Have you ever taken out your shocks to see for sure? even in your diagram it shows one rear bolt per shock.
And one per side up front.
