Is it ok to have only 2 shocks at the front?

[xxJaRxx]

I have just broken one of the front shocks and have taken one off the other side so they are equal, but it seems to sag alot and when i push the font down it touches the floor easily. Is it safe to use or should i wait until i get another shock and can go back to 4?
Thanks

Your handling will suffer until you get some stiffer springs or a replacement shock, but you are not going to hurt anything. Many people here run 4 shocks instead of 8.

I run only 4 shocks when I am racing, but come bashing time I put the other 4 on also....
