I don’t think you’ll need the lowers. I have a F450 and use Energy Suspension bump stops (they aren’t solid about half the thickness of Stableloads) and air bags. I’ve had my TC full of my stuff including water and pulled a fully loaded TT from Seattle to Yellowstone and back with no issues. Your setup will probably be heavier.
I would add the uppers first to keep the overloads engaged, and only use enough air to keep the truck level. That may mean as low as 20-40 lbs in each bag. Firestone makes a specific kit for F450s. You don’t need to overthink it, but make sure the person doing the airbag install makes clean connections, puts the valve stem inputs where they are easy to reach, and tightens the valve stem inserts.
