For a great air bag system for your 2022 Ram 3500, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2598. These air bags fit both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models. I confirmed in the mounting instructions that there is no mention of modifying the axle vents in order to install the air bags. I went ahead and attached a picture of the way the air bags install.

One extra step to know for sure that you do not need axle vent modifications is to see where your jounce bumper bolt holes are on your frame. If these are safely away from your axle vents, you will not need to modify your vents.

If you want greater ease and customization of your air bags, I recommend the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor # F2219. Apart from giving you the ability to independently inflate each of your air bags, the Air Command II, the compressor allows you to inflate your air bags to the maximum psi rating (100 psi).
