For a great air helper springs option for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 4x4, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2613 (5k load-leveling capacity) or the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label # F2709 (7.5k load-leveling capacity). These air helper spring kits come with all mounting hardware required, including brackets, air springs, hardware, air line, and separate valves for manual inflation. The air bags help eliminate sagging as well as improve steering control and braking when hauling. If you plan on hauling a considerably heavy trailer (10k +), I recommend going with the Red Label # F2709. Smaller applications will be great with the # F2613.

For greater customization of the air bags, I recommend a compressor like the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function # F2219. Since this system is dual-path, it allows you to independently inflate each air bag to your desired psi. Also, with this particular compressor, it allows you to fully use the 150 max psi of the Red Label springs and the 100 max psi of the # F2613.
