shocks do not support the weight of the car, the springs do, the shocks just slow down how fast the springs are allowed to move, that's why they're called dampers.
the car was in an accident, the springs aren't installed correctly (bottom pigtail of front springs aligned between the dots in the front control arms, bottom pigtail end pointing straight towards the drivers side fender on both rear springs) or the torque boxes are damaged will cause a sag.

Umm, let's go with the obvious first. Swap the springs from side to side...see if the problem follows. If it does, it's the springs. If it doesn't, it's something with the car.
