Default Spring sleeve removal question

All,
When I had my suspension upgrade done, the tech put a sleeve around the bottom coil (where it's closet to the ground) at the rear wheel to avoid coil slap, which is a common problem with after market springs. Updon doing research in the forum, there's no apparent evident that my specifict type of spring (Eibach) will do that. I would like to remove these sleeves to restore the intended relative ride heights between front and rear wheels. What is the easiest way to do this?
If I were to jack the car up, would there be enough "play" on the springs that I could just push it up to remove the sleeves?
Thanks,

I do not know exactly what a spring sleeve is, but there is no room to push the spring up when still bolted to the strut. The spring is under at least a little compression when bolted to the strut.
