To compensate for the sag you're experiencing when you haul your 2021 Forest River XLR Nitro 405 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2613.

Firestone Ride-Rite springs are designed to increase safety and reduce the strain on your vehicle when you are hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer. The springs partner with your existing rear suspension system to help keep your vehicle level, maintain even load distribution, and increase stability. By adding air springs to your rear suspension, you can help to level your vehicle and improve braking and handling. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.

I also recommend installing the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 to adjust the pressure of your airbags to match the added weight of your trailer or any other loads you might need to all, all from the comfort of your cab using the smartphone app.

I've attached some videos for you to check out that will offer some additional information and walk you through installing these items.
