Why not install an after market system like AirLift with wireless one controller.
I have that on my 2012 right now. It’s a great set up will definitely be cheaper then RamAir.
I did order my 22 with RamAir but if I got a truck without it. Definitely would do the AirLift again if I had too.

Because I’d like for it to be completely integrated into UConnect and the cluster dashboard. I know there are aftermarket options but I’d rather spend a little more to have an OEM integration, if possible.

That would be a massive undertaking with expense that matched. And the down line cost to maintain when it fails would be ludicrous compared to the airlift.
I’ve added it to mine after the fact. Trust me when I say this- if you’re having second thoughts on adding it to a 2022, cancel your current order, and put in a new one order that includes it.
I agree with Jimmy, either call your sales manager and try to get it added or cancel the order and reorder with air suspension option . Way more expensive to add after the fact and to much work as I'm sure jimmy will tell you .
I ended up having the dealership request that it get added. I was hesitant to do it because it could raise the MSRP of the truck since it gets re-invoiced. Because of this, I wanted to look into the possibility of retrofitting it to avoid potentially thousands in MSRP markups (ie due to shorter supply of chips).
In the end, I decided to take the gamble as it sounds like it’s needed to pull 7k lbs boat with a family of 4 on a Carli lift. ..Unless I wanted to bolt on bump stops each time I wanted to tow.

Change it to a 3500 and you won't need the airbags?
Daystar cradles paired with several aftermarket airbag systems will work with the Carli lifts.

You're doing it wrong
You wont need the bags trust me this is my non air ride 2500, This park model is 1650lbs tongue weight truck does not care, i also have about as much tools in the truck that would weigh about the same as 2 kids in the back seat and i had myself 250lbs and my father in law 180lbs in the front….. payload is just a number axleweights is what should be followed
