If you mean the quad shocks yeah you can take those off. A lot of people do when they go with big tires/rims

the help fight wheel hop, so if you get hop when launching you'll want to upgrade the control arms so they don't flex like the stockers and cause the hop.

I wouldnt "Just" take them off , if you do then you will probably get wheel hop i learned that the hard way. but if you have upgraded suspension then i would.

if you are running stock rear control arms, just flip them so the body is closer to the rear end.
if you got good uppers and lowers, junk them. They're probably shot anyway.
