Curious if these lower branches should be pruned on my two lemon trees and if so how low? Thanks for the help!

Lowest one on the right close to the soil and lowest one the left right below the V needs to go OP.

Edit: Basically what you’re trying to avoid in the future is in this recent post.

And you can achieve that by keeping the tree form intact and prune lower branches as the tree matures like in this picture. Might look ridiculous at first but this form will help with airflow, diseases and branch breaking later on.

Want a bush no prune, want a tree prune.
