Shocks don't really determine ride height. There are many things that cause rear sag on a fox. In most cases its the springs and worn spring isolators.

Also, the bushings in the rear control arms also wear out over time causing uneven ride height and loss of traction.

If these parts have never been replaced on your car I recommend replacing them all.

You'll be amazed at how nice it will look and ride.
