Bronco Lean or frame

I am in the process of installing the body on my frame with new WH 1” bushings when I noticed that the drivers side front of the bronco is lower than the rest. This was obviously an issue before but I am just now paying attention to it. The question that I have now is how can I tell if the frame is bent or if it’s the infamous Bronco lean? The drivers side front of the frame to floor measures 1/2” lower than the passenger side. When I measure the axle tube to frame, the drivers side is also 1/2” less than the passenger side. Does this suggest that it is bronco lean and not the frame? The passenger side rear is 3/8” lower than the drivers side rear to the floor. Passenger side axle tube to frame is 1/4” lower than the drivers side axle tube to frame. I have searched many posts but can’t find one that clears this up for me. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

FYI, I have a 2.5” lift and just noticed the front axle sticks out on the drivers side. I guess the previous owner left the original track bar on it. Could this be contributing to the problem?
