what should I do?

I live in a place where I don't have a garage anymore. I just moved here and the best I cuold do was to rent a shop. So I did, i have a 4" suspension lift I'm going to put on but it looks like my shocks might be a week or so late. I ordered them from topgun customz and they aren't as expeditious as I would have hoped with shipping. I have to drive 30 miles or so to my work and can't get time off to wait for my shocks. Is there a cheap alternative to waiting? It's kind of an emergency... I have to use the shop time I got, but I can't drive without shocks. what to do... anyone have some old crappy 4" lift shocks for a yota or...

I've heard you could run without shocks as long as you watch out for big holes and NO four wheeling.

Shocks are over rated. I rode in a 84 Flatbed a weekend or so ago, and he only had one shock in there, you'll bounce more, and should take it easy, but technically you can drive without shocks.

Yeah you can drive without shocks. Watch out for washboard road surfaces, big pot holes, dips (like coming off interstate overpasses on occasion) & standing water. You hydroplane easier without shocks. It's advisable to get them on a.s.a.p.
