Did my air ride shock just die?

After installing a 2.25"/1.5" leveling kit I wasn't satisfied with the look so I bought some 2" spacers with shock extenders for the rear. (Not sure if the extenders are going to work with these shocks.) I hadn't adjusted the rear air ride links as they looked pretty damn close to the factory level. (I will eventually get around to testing resistance in the sensors.)

I came out today and noticed the "Chevy lean" was pretty noticeable. I measured and the left side sits 3" lower than the right in the rear. The air pump kicks on for about 3-5 seconds when I turn the key on but it doesn't lift more than. 1/8". I put in a link that was about 1" longer than factory to test and it still did nothing.

The left shock is noticeably more compressed than the right.

Some other info:

I lengthened the front ride sensors equally to about level.

The air pump runs continuously if I disconnect one or both air lines to the rear shocks.
