My guess is that someone tried to jack up there? But then again I wouldn't think it would have bent it down that much.

OP, as far as I know there is no simple way to repair it.

jacking or speed bumps... if the rails are straight and just the bottom is dented in you can get a hd stud gun and pulling tools, thats what i did. if the rails are bent it needs to go to a frame shop...
