Default Help Please!!!!! Air ride suspension

Ok, so I bought a used Air Ride Suspension kit. I have no idea what brand it is.It looks like a Arnott System,but not marked. Its all together, the compressor works no problems at all. My only question is this.One shock stays compressed when you push down on it. While the other retracts back to full length after being compressed.The air shocks are not Blisteins or Alden. They have Tenneco on the the rubber gromet of the mounting eye.All black and are marked with L on one ,R on the other one.I currently do not have any pictures avaiable. Since I am not home and on deplyment for the Navy. Its just bugging the hell out of me. Why is one doing one thing and the other is doing something else. Do I need to add oil maybe. Please any information will be highly appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
