Default shocks?

i recently changed my 2.5 lvl to a 3 because it didn't sit level. when i put the 3 on i could tell a difference.but after a few days it wasnt level. today i checked the front and back to see and the front sits .5 iinchs lower than the back. could this be becuase i need to replace the shocks?

Shocks don't have any bearing on ride height. About the only thing it could be is worn coil springs.
