If my left sway bar is bent to hell is that going to cause the lift on the left side to be shorter? If that's not causing it, then I think im screwed.

Disconnect sway bar on both ends to see if it sits level then. If it does then find a JY replacement. If it still does not sit level then your problem is elsewhere.

If you disconnect the end links and it still sits crooked you obviously have a much bigger problem.
