It possible that you won't need them. It takes 3000# to get mine to squat 2.5" and touch the helpers. According to the spring specs, it will take over 4000# to squat one more inch.
I figured I'd want airbags and was sure I wanted an aux tank in the bed when I bought my 2017 F450. Well, after driving 20000 miles I have neither, nor want them anymore.

Doubt you'll need them. Put a set of Torklift upper and lower stableloads on and I bet you're fine. I carried an Arctic Fox 1150 TC in my 2015 F350 DRW gasser and the truck never knew it was there and they are heavy beasts. I'm towing a fiver now so haven't had a TC for awhile but the Torklift Fastguns are fantastic for tiedowns.

Hauled my TC on the '17 450 without airbags, and subsequently with airbags. I personally prefer it with airbags, and run them about 80 psi.
Yes, the truck certainly handles a TC without airbags and drives just fine. I'm just not a fan of the squat when carrying a heavy TC, which put the nose level to slightly higher than the rear. Headlights in the sky blinding traffic (adjustable of course). Just looks like it is carrying a heavy load. With airbags, I maintain a level to 1" rake (rear higher), headlight angles change less between loaded and unloaded, and if you have a compressor, you can use the airbags to help level the camper. And when its not loaded, drop them to 0-5psi and you can't tell they are there. For me, I'm happy with my airbags. Again, though, they aren't required on a 350DRW or 450.
