Question Rear passenger shock sagging, any temporary solution?

I knocked a curb and now my rear passenger shock is sagging pretty significantly compared to the drivers side. Or it could have been the lady who hit my car in the parking lot on that corner, one or the other. Either way my shock is f-d up and I need to do something about it. The passenger side is sitting about an inch lower than drivers side. Is there anything I can do to alleviate the sagging while I decide on new shocks? I may go with the Koni's since they are on an awesome sale right now.

Shocks don't set ride height....the springs do.

Mine also is lower on passenger rear. By half an inch. I tell people its from the torque over the years. Springs would probably fix it

Look under the car. Something else is wrong. A shock will not cause any sagging.
