Yes, there are a several options to add Sumo Springs to your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500 and you'll generally want to choose based off the weights of the payloads you typically carry in your truck bed or the size of the trailer you're towing. It should be noted that these don't increase the payload or towing capacity, they'll only offer support within the capacities of your Silverado. The SuperSprings Sumo Springs Solo Rear Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Suspension Kit for Trucks # SSR-207-47 are more of a light duty application that help fight sag on lighter loads of up to 1500-lbs. They're nice if you're only needing help fighting small amounts of sag or just want some added help to cushion from road shock since they replace the factory bump stops.

For a standard duty application, the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SSR-203-40-2 provides support for loads up to 3000-lbs and since they are progressively load bearing they won't affect the unloaded ride quality of your Silverado 3500.

If you're typically towing a heavy trailer or carrying heavy payloads in the bed then the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-203-47-2 offer support for up to 5000-lbs. These are great if you're getting a lot of sag while towing trailers or carrying heavy loads in the truck bed and they won't change the quality of your unloaded ride.

I've also linked a cool video we did that shows how these different Sumo Springs work so you can get an idea of the compression they'll see under load and shows the difference between the standard duty and heavy duty helper springs.
