could it be the shocks?

the lift on my 2003 z71 is sagging in the front about 2 inches... its a 4 inch procomp lift... could this be a result of the shocks weakening? would replacing them bring the Height back to where it should be?

Negative. Shocks are dampers, and dampers only. They do not suspend, or carry any weight.
Remove a shock, and the vehicle remains at the same heigth.
Your problem is with the pre-load in the torsion bars, and not in the shock.
