You may have a little suspension tweek too, its tough to get those radius arms right sometimes.
Here is what I would do:
Do you have a body lift on it? If so I'd take the pass side lift block and sand a 1/4" off it then shim the driver side with 2 washers and see how that looks before torquing everything down. If that fender and mount was tweeked at one point (arent they all? ;D ) it should be the only thing off and you shouldnt need to shim the rest but if the door gaps get off a little (you can do amazing things with door gaps by shimming those body mounts!!!!) you might want to throw a washer in the floor mount on that side also. Be sure when you start messing with the shimming that you loosen the next set of mounts up so you dont put stress and concave the other body mounts.
If you dont have a body lift I might still shave some material off the top of the pass side bushing still but otherwise you will need 1 or 2 more washers on the driver. You wont need a whole half inch or whatever the gap is since when you raise the driver side the pass will go down a tad too. I'd say 3/8" would do it. If you put the washers on the top under the core support no one will ever know (painting them black helps too). When I took my red one apart I found shims in several, especially the driver front where it had been wrecked.
I'd fix the body mount issue and you may feel a lot better about its stance. Then worry about the supension later if it still feels/looks off. But 1/2" isnt bad and probably you wont notice it much when you are done with shimming the body.
One other note, is that if you turn in to park, the suspension can bind a little and will cause a lean as well. You should see it with a spool!!! To get a good judge be sure you have driven straight a little ways.
Sorry for the Book ;D
