Any reason I can't pull the struts out of my ix while leaving the housings connected to the CA, Tie rod, and axle? I know I can replace 2wd struts this way but i'm not positive I can do it with an ix.

It's gonna be next to impossible on an iX on account of the axles.

you will at times have to remove the 2 bolts on the lollipop from the CA. but other than that, yes.
remove the 2 bolts on the lollipop. remove the nuts on the hat. remove the hat and spring perch. reattach the lollipop (for leverage.) use a plumbing monkey wrench to break the shock free. unscrew it and remove it up and out of the suspension tower into the engine bay. once its out, the spring is easily removed.AWD > RWD
