Air Shocks

I have air shocks on my 81. I didnt put them on they were already there when I bought it. The 1 side sits higher than the other. Yet theres only 1 place to put air and it effects both sides. How do I fix just the 1 side to make it level again? I dont know how the 1 side lost air and the other didnt in the first place I just walked out 1 day and noticed it. Any help would be appreciated.

It is not likely that there is more air in one than the other. Air shocks are generally installed as a patch for other problems. I would remove them, throw them away and install good shocks along with new springs. I am sure that you will find that you have at least one bad spring. I did not look to see where you are from but you need also inspect the front spring perch as this is a frequent site for rust.
