I had some AirLift air bags installed to help with towing and my truck still sags on the left side. Was kinda hoping that it would help

malbojah you can split the air lines so you can pump up each side individually to level it out.

Wouldn't I need to get a second controller to do each line? ( or a dual controller?)

Currently its 1)compressor, 2) controller and low pressure sensor, 3) air line split under bed, 4) bag on each side, 5) relief/refill valves on corners of rear bumper for both bags

On my 98 F150, I had the left rear spring slightly bent, resulting uneven height on rear end on both sides. Had both rear springs replaced, and it evened it out. Interesting, the Firestone shop didn't notice it when I replaced the tires with new Bridgestone Duelers when they had trouble aligning the wheels. I took it to different shop, and this expert guy said I needed to replace leaf springs to even it all out and it'll align properly without any shimming added.
Check out the rear springs first, before doing the shocks.

malbojah I didn't realize you had an onboard compressor. That does complicate things.
I'm used to seeing systems just with valves that stick a tire chuck on.
