The torsion bars are adjustable. Tighten the the bolt on the side you want to raise.

You'll find the torsion bar adjusting bolts on the of the bottom-side of the lower control arms. Wire brush the threads to clean them, soak them with penatrating oil/spray for a few days, and be sure to jack the front end up in the air before you start turning them.
Add a turn or two on the side of the car that's too low, then drive around the block and re-check. I measure from the fender opennings down on all four wheel opennings. Changing the pre-load on the fronts will affect the rear measurements and visa-versa.
You may have worn or broken suspension components too, so check everything out while you're under there. Lower ball joints take a beating on Mopars.
