Default Ford F150 Rotor installation problem

I'm need to travel miles tomorrow and I'm wondering if this is going to screw up my brakes if I just install the rotor without replacing the shoes.

Just don't use your parking brake and everything will be fine. Remember to park on level surfaces. Take a carpenter's level with you so you can check. I would change those shoes if you like to use that mechanical linkage brake. Otherwise, move to an area that doesn't have hills.
