Isn't ride height measured from the ground to the framerail ?




No, according to the FSM it is measured from the ground to the bottom
of the lower control pivot where the torsion bar inserts into the LCA.

While not as well known, the frames on these cars can be off a quarter inch
from side to side and still be considered "in spec".
FWIW, That's a country mile by todays standards...

Obviously, You can compensate for this by dialing up the LCA on the low side to even out the ride height.

I've personally seen cars (B-Bodies) where the LCA Bolt is
deep inside the LCA on one side and way outside on the other side (almost a full inch difference!)
and yet the car looks level and aligns!

But if this "difference" was noticable right after the ditch incident
you have either bent the frame or you seriouly smacked the LCA/torsion bar etc....

To rule out the frame, how do the fender to door gaps look?
Hood to fender? etc... Does the hood open and close easily and straight?
