sagging front end

My F350 has a sag on the drivers side. Im assuming the shock is weak and I was getting ready to replace my front shocks anyway, because i already inspected the usual. Tire pressure and leaf springs. Everything checks out, but the shocks are stock and im pushing 145,xxx. What do you guys think?

Shocks don't determine the height, the springs do. Shocks only dampen rebound. Weak spring or worn out/damaged suspension hardware will change the height.
