truck sits lop sided

Ok so last week a Chevy cobalt hit me on the right side bent up my fender and bent the u bolts and broke the leaf sing centering pin. Long story short got all new fenders hood replaced the u bolts and center pin but now the right side sits about 1 1/2 to 2 inches lower I have the same amount of space between the bump stop on both sides 2 inches and the springs and perches all look fine to me I'm not seeing any thing bent what could this be??? The truck has add a leafs up front to there's a plate I assume a spacer plate that bolts in with the leaf sing pack that I didn't put back in on the right side cuz it was cracked and it was 20° out and I had work but I don't see that 3/8 thick if that plate causing a 2 inch drop on that side.

Not gonna lie, it's very hard to determine what's what with all that mud and night shots.

Have a good frame shop take a peek… they can tell you what's bent and what isn't bent.
