sagging Bilstein shock

sagging Bilstein shock
'98 Tacoma Reg cab
2.7L, 5spd, 4wd
-------------------------
I have Bilstein shocks (10" 5150 Series with 255/70 valving). They came on the truck and I don't know much about them.
The rear left shock always sags a little. At best, about an inch and at worst, maybe 2-1/2 inches, or so.
Anyone know if these can be adjusted in some way?
thanks

Shocks like that should have no affect on the ride height at rest, they only control the damping of up and down motion. If one corner is sagging, likely a problem with the spring or other suspension part on that corner. I think there was some sort of factory recall or TSB on the earlier Tacoma rear springs that you might check into.

ah yes, that makes sense. I added leaf springs to an S-10 I once had so, hopefully I'll be able to do this one too.
Any recommendations on what to order? I see some companies state that their springs provide "near factory ride height" or something along those lines. Since this Yota has 10" shocks, I'm not sure if that's what I would want.
