Struts in the front, shocks in the rear

"my car is currently lop sided" - how did you figure out your shocks and struts are the culprit?

And to add ...

Springs control ride height, shock/struts control rebound. Replace in pairs front & rear.

Struts and shocks will do nothing for ride height issues, even if they are completely blown. Their main function is to dampen the spring movements.

Old sagging springs would most likely be the cause of your ride height issues.
