22.5's shaved down to 22" so that you can run 30 series car tires are not what i thought we were talking about.
that is the right clip for that truck.
and there is no bed in that truck. the frame notch is so big it's gunna have a permanent tonue cover.
air bagged tow rigs do work. but you gotta know what you are talking about. and build the system right. with the right parts.
I LOVE that truck. Always wanted to build a layed out crew cab dually on milled 22.5's. Only problem is it doesnt lay all the way. At a quick glance it looks like he ditched the Ibeams too (no crazy camber)
As for your questions- go with double bellow bags rated at minimum of 2600 lbs all the way around- non bellowed bags (semi or helpers- which are too light duty anyway) will try to roll over as you lift especially in the front due to angle changes. For the rear the general recomendation for towing or heavy use is paralel 4link with panhard or watts link, or a very heavy duty built triangulated 4 link.
On 22.5's you will need to have the bead seat milled to 22" to fit a normal tire so you can run something lower profile- no this does not cause any issues that i have ever heard of.
There are quite a few companies out there to choose from as far as sourcing parts- alteredaltitude, airassisted, suicidedoors, airbagit, waylayedinc, strretnshow and many more. I have dealt with a few, they mostly seem decent to deal with with some having longer shipping times.
If you have more questions just ask- this is what i do for fun so i am usually knee deep in it anyway- i have 2 bagged vehicles myself- 1 is IDI powered, my brother has 2 bagged vehicles as well- 1 of them is IDI powered too
