im having my rear shocks rebuilt and i would need to move my car from here and there mainly driveway to garage/garage to driveway. is it safe if i move it around without the rear shocks?

Shocks aren't load bearing and are mainly there to dampen the movement of the suspension so you should be fine.

Yes you will be fine.

That's pretty much what I thought would happen. Thanks for the laugh!

if the springs are there, you can drive it.
