Only thing I could find off is the sway bar but it was untouched do to seeing mud hits. If I measure the tip of the end of the sway bar to the lower control arm, drivers is like 0.98" and passenger is like 1.06". But that'd mean the huge whole lower arm is bent which I doubt, or that just the sway bar wasn't cut perfectly at the ends.

My guess is that's normal variance. If not you'd see other things attached to the lower control arm out of spec. I'd just take it to the alignment shop and see what shakes out.
