Help!!

I think I broke something, but I can't tell what it is. I hit a bump going 20mph and now my car scrapes on everything. I'm lowered. I tried to push the underbelly plastic back into place, but there is something hard blocking it. Any ideas?

^I highly doubt it.

If your able to take those pics then you should be able to see what its snagging on. A few zip ties will hold it up temporarily.

That's what I'm thinking, but I can't find images of what the sways should look like anywhere online.

The only thing that looks out of place is the sway bar. Could it rotate?

I thought that at first but when I tried to push it back in place it protrudes in a weird way, maybe a sway bar bracket broke?

Something is amiss with your sway bar. You can see pics of mine here:

Thank you, I've been searching for pics with no avail. Hopefully it's only the sway bar and nothing else. I don't seem to be losing oil and aside from scraping over tiny bumps it drive ok.
