Bonzo,
Before you freak out about the frame being bent or whatnot, there are a few things to check for.

The springs, make certain they are actually seated in the pockets in the frame, they can be out of the pocket and make about a 1" difference in height.
Same if they're rotated in the pockets incorrectly.

last, if you tightened up your front suspension while the car was still in the air (on the lift or on jackstands) it wont sit level when on the ground.

If your frame was tweaked soo bad it sat high by an inch on one side, i seriously doubt the sheetmetal would line up nicely, i could be wrong....but thats my thoughts on it.
