What Rear Air Bags and Compressor do You Recommend for My 2022 Chevy Silverado 5500?

I have a great option for you. However, I confirmed with Air Lift that they do not have a rear axle air bag system that is confirmed to fit your 2022 Chevy Silverado 5500.
Although, with that being said, Firestone has a Ride-Rite kit that works. That is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F56ZR. This Red Label kit provides a huge 7,500 pounds of load-leveling capacity. It also allows for you to inflate the air bags from 5-150 psi for your desired firmness.
It is important to note that these air bags are only confirmed to fit commercial cab/chassis models.
For the in-cab compressor with switch, I recommend the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 150 psi # F2219. This particular system is a dual-path system which means you can inflate the air bags independently from each other to compensate for off-center loads. The Air Command II also allows you to get to the maximum 150 psi pressure of the Red Label air bags. This kit comes with a manual switch.
