UnReal trailer with a "FLOATING Gooseneck" ?!?

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates how the air suspension allows the gooseneck to be raised or lowered by inflating or deflating the air bags. This feature provides up to 8 inches of adjustable clearance, which is crucial for clearing railroad tracks, ditches, or other obstacles, preventing the trailer from 'hanging up.' The system is designed to provide this flexibility while maintaining shock absorption, ensuring a smooth and controlled passage over uneven surfaces.

Goal: The air-cushioned gooseneck allows the driver to manually inflate or deflate the air bags, providing adjustable clearance to navigate various terrains and obstacles.
