Hello Bob; between the two options the air bags are definitely the better choice. Not only are they fully adjustable, they can be run at the 5 psi minimum when you aren't towing or hauling. This means they won't have an impact on your unloaded ride quality. The Timbren # T28MR tends to result in a harsh ride when it comes to everyday use. The best and most reliable option for air bags on your 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 is the Firestone # F2609.

I also recommend adding an air compressor like the Firestone Air Command # F2610. This will allow you to adjust the air bags no matter where you go from the cab of your truck. This system is controlled via the app on your phone. It is single path so it will adjust the pressure equally between the two air springs.
