Maybe take the coil back out and whack the crap out of that bump stop tube with a bfh or maybe use a bottle jack and some blocks of wood to straighten it out some is all I can come up with.Good luck be sure to let us know how you fix it.

In tec terms a bent tower is a bent "frame".
Good luck making it straight.
Most would use a 30 ton frame straightener.

Its not the best pic. I have the same problem on my pass side but just not as extreme. Do you have control arm shims on one side and not the other? Looks to me like you need adj arms. Give rock krawler a call. They have some good advise.
