I've done both of my front bags with Arnott replacements.
I would advise pulling the fuses for the air suspension before raising the X off the ground for any reason - argue if you want - but I DID have ride height issues and had to have mine recalibrated once so far as a direct result of "improperly" lifting the vehicle. It coincidentally was the one time I did not pull the fuses. (was not during air bag replacement though). quick tips for this job: 1). lube the large o-rings around the base of the strut before fitting the new bag. 2). remove the plastic plug from the air-line fitting on the new bag before attempting to install it onto your strut. if you leave it in there, you won't be able to push the bag down far enough to get the nut started on the top. 3). the rubber cap/plug that goes on the top and is held in place by the 14mm nut goes in exactly the opposite of how it looks. the smaller end of the taper goes UP. when you put the retaining washer and nut on, it will squish out and make a good seal.

You can do just one since they're independently controlled. However, if you have a bad one, the other is right behind unless one was damaged somehow.

Unless, you're not worried about that because you're not keeping the X for too long.
