The best option for suspension enhancement for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 6500 to help with its sag is going to be Timbrens to help support the added weight in the rear. The correct part number for your Chevy is the following:

- Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TURMDE

The reason why the Timbrens # TURMDE are the best is they take the brunt of the added weight from your gear (in your case your tools and equipment), and engage to counteract sag and body roll, helping level and stabilize your truck.

Another nice thing is the Timbrens do not require any maintenance at all; once installed you never have to worry about them, they'll simply do the job they are designed to do.
