Default Leaking Air Shocks? 2001 Discovery II

A couple of months ago, noticed that after coming up my slightly steep driveway and turning hard right into my space and cutting engine, body would dip on the right side, as if it was a city bus leaning over to assista handicapped person boarding. Usually righted itself on start up. Last two trips over the "Grapevine" (I-5 between LA and Bakersfield) it started drooping while inmotion and ride got very very rough, stiff, like a freaking go-kart, I mean hard on the backbonerough. It righted itself after sitting for awhile, and we made it 90% of the way home OK, but drooped again as we approached our exit, and now none of the usual tricks seem to bring it back up. Strange that it's only on the right side, too.
Anyone ever had this experience before?

First, they are not air shocks, you have regular shocks and a air suspension.
As for your problem, call me and I'll walk you thru what to do.

My 2001 disco landrover has 115,000 miles on it! I purchased the vehicle 2 mos ago I noticed one day it was leaning on the passenger side however when I start it up it goes back up to full size it is now leaning more and more I hear an air hissing sound at times on that side so what is it?? I don't wanna spend a lot what different costs am I looking at
Thanks Heather

"I hear an air at times on that side so what is it??" Fill a spray bottle with soapy water and have someone get under there and spray it, then just follow the bubbles.

After 80,000 to 100,000 the air bags become hard and tend to leak air. If that happens you can buy a pair of new bags, never by used ones, from Arnott Ind. in Florida and install them in a little over 1/2 hours pretty easily.
