We do have an option 7500 lb air bags for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500, but there will be interference between the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 and your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020.

These air bags mount to the frame with a U-bolt, and the Turnoverball has crossmembers that will block you from being able to slide that U-bolt in place. Technically this is possible, but you'd have to literally unbolt your truck's bed from the frame and raise the bed up. That's a ton of extra work so I recommend going with the Firestone Ride-Rite option instead. These are 100 percent compatible, and the part that fits your '22 Silverado 3500 is the following:

- Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709

The bracket for the # F2709 clamps to the underside of the frame instead of using U-bolts that go around the frame, which is why they are compatible with the # BWGNRK1020. The Ride-Rite have the same 7,500 lb capacity as the Air Lift, and are very high quality, made with four layers of reinforced rubber, compared to the two layers of other air bags.

During the installation of these air bags, you are going to want to ensure your air lines are cut perfectly straight, and the best way to do this is by using the Air Hose Cutter # AL10530.

Also, I do highly recommend adding a compressor in order to make both monitoring and maintaining the air bags much easier, the Firestone Air Command I Heavy-Duty Compressor # F2097.
