Not level in rear - XREAS

The rear end of my '03 SE $L V6 with XREAS is not level from side to side in the rear. Difference in height to same point on fender well is 1.5" with passenger's side being higher. Front is same height side to side. I noticed this year plus ago when I had DunFlops replaced with Michelins at Costco. At first I thought they had put a different size tire on one side but all 265/65x17". Then I thought since it was on lift for so long perhaps the XREAS fluid needed time to compensate and would level out once driven a bit -- well that didn't happen. Checked XREAS supply tubes to shocks for XREAS and all are fine - no leaks or kinks. It's like the high side needs to be burped! Vehicle only has 45k miles - never wrecked or off road (I'm original owner and sole driver). Can I replace a single XREAS shock? Any trick so fluid doesn't pour out. All I can think is shock on high side is frozen in extended position???

The X-REAS shock can be removed. There's a disconnection point further away from the shock which will keep fluid loss at a minimum.

Don't disconnect the line at the shock itself, that will cause fluid to leak.

Hummm - so it could be the center control absorber or a stuck check valve!
