Default '82' not setting level

The front right is about 3/4 " lower than the left, and the back right is about 1/2" lower than the back left(these measurements were taken at the high point of the fender openings). The differences weren't quite as much when measuring each side in the front and back. What's the best way to balance the height? I thought there was a little difference, but didn't realize it was that much. Looking at it from the front or back, most people wouldn't notice it.

First place I would check is the front end components.

Check mounting at front crossmember for the lower control arm. (in particular the two bolts which attach to the lower front portion of the crossmember)

Have a good look at all front end suspension components for signs of worn or broken items. Hopefully you'll find a weak front shock! That would be your least expensive fix.
