I started installing my lift today and found out one of my new rear shocks is bad. I can compress it woth no force and it wont extend with out pulling it out. How safe would it to be to drive with one rear shock? Nothing major just back and forth to work. I cant use my old ones because there to short now.THIS SUCKS.

Re: Run one rear shock?
What tomcat said. Act like you're driving a vehicle with limited capabilities and you should be fine.
I drove mine with NO rear shocks for a couple days while my new shocks were on order. Very bouncy, kinda like riding on springs with no damping (weird, huh?).
I can't imagine it would cause any permanent lean, it'll take more than a few days of sedate work commuting to break your leafs in.

what kind of defective shock was it?
I would be looking to replace it right away and not driving unless really needed.

it is going to degrade braking and steering. A lot. I would be very careful
