s10 parts dont fit, not even remotely close.

an adjustable panhard would be better than what you have, so at least at the set ride height of the air system, you have start with the axle centered, but when you drop the car, the axle will still move to one side as the car settles. Only way to reall get rid of that is to use a watts link setup instead, which is available in the aftermarket $$$$$, or build your own if you are so inclined.

the other parts are not really needed. The air system should have a height at which you drive the car, and thats where the suspension setting need to be set for. When you change the ride height, everything goes to pot, and there is no way to change it everytime you park and want to lower the car.
