Expert Reply:

The best air bag suspension kit for your 2022 Ford F-450 is the Firestone Ride-Rite kits due to their durability with the double-convoluted shape and crimp rolled seal. There are 2 different options for your pickup and the difference is just the weight capacity (keep in mind that these only help support weight and won't increase the capacity of your pickup).

Standard Duty 5,000 lb Capacity - # F35FV
Red Label Extreme Duty 7,500 lb Capacity - # F95FV (distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire must be at least 7-1/2")

If you are unsure of which you want or will need then I recommend getting the Red Label air bags because you can always run them at a lower psi rating if need be.

I also recommend looking into getting an air compressor kit like the Air Command # F99VV because it gives you the ability to monitor and adjust the air bags on an as-needed basis as opposed to having to stop and check/adjust the air pressure.
