driving with damage shock

Help,

Going to put new shocks on my 2000 F150 4x4 however, they had to order the Rancho shocks. Just noticed that the driver right side shock is damaged. Broken in the middle. Can I drive my truck without causing damage to it until the shocks come in? If yes, then any recommendation on how I should drive it.

Thanks

Martinjose

Well, it will bounce a bit on the bad shock corner so be careful turning too fast because it will lean to that corner. I would remove the bad one so it doesn't separate and possibly fall into other suspension parts.
