I wouldn't worry too much about it Speed.

Double convoluted bags can handle that offset you have, but no more. It doesn't help that it's a soft spring like Airlift. If you placed a slam in it's place, it wouldn't be as bad looking.

What I actually preferred is the bag to be straight at ride height. This way you get the most out of the bag's spring rate. I tried to setup my old truck this way, but it ended up the height I set it up at was too low , so the bag was slightly off at it's ride height for 2yrs...same bags, never blew one

But yes, the S10 guys got it worse than that. But that's if you use bolt in bag cups. You can modify those cups to rid of some angle, but not all of it.

at first i setup my truck to be straight when aired up but it was way off when aired out, and since it spends most of it's time aired out i figured it's best to be aligned that way.

You're supposed to set them up level when collapsed. If you set it up level when aired up, then when they're collapsed they're deflected and rubbing on themselves with no air in them. Being deflected isn't going to effect their spring rate that much. The spring rate is determined by the air pressure. Setting it up the way you do would just change when it hits that specific pressure, not make it any better.
