I assume you are referring to the control arms. Not sure what the context of the reason for removal but typically if you are doing a swap out you should do just 2 at a time.

It would be a pain to do the rear uppers without removing the tires but u can do it.
Question is why? Can't you get your hands on a floor jack and a pair of jack stands? It would make life a lot easier!!

Last spring I changed out the stock coils for Metalcloak 2.5" lift coils and this spring I am changing all the control rods and track bars. It was a pain changing the coils and I was hoping I wouldn't have to take them out again.

U don't need to take out the springs. But taking wheels off would make things a lot easier.
FYI when you changed your springs did u disconnect the lower shock mounts? If not that why it was tuff.

Don't know if it has changed with newer models, but one of the front uppers is fun. (Pry the exhaust out of the way to get to the bolt, or just chop the bolt off.)
For some reading material, there is a DIY Alignment how-to up in the Writeups area that goes over some install and setup steps for control arms. There is an Index stuck to the top of Writeups, I think the diy is in both the Steering and Troubleshooting areas. If the links are still broke, just scroll down.
