UnReal trailer with a "FLOATING Gooseneck" ?!?

What happens here

Lane explains that unlike fixed-neck hitches, the 'Float Ride' system dissipates both vertical and horizontal shock energy in one motion through the air bag. When the trailer hits a bump, the air bag compresses, absorbing the impact rather than transmitting it. This not only makes the ride smoother but also transfers more weight to the truck's front axle during braking, providing increased stopping power—an unexpected but beneficial outcome.

Goal: The air-cushioned system significantly reduces both vertical and horizontal shock energy, leading to a smoother ride and improved control of the truck and trailer.

where's most of the braking take place the front axle contact on that lead out now the first the it's going to the second axle but on a fixed neck but on this one transfers some of that weight to the front axle giving you more stopping power at the same time when this bag compresses it pulls the neck down on the on the ball on the toby here so when it does that it's putting more weight on the back actually tow vehicle and in the braking braking is something that we didn't know was going to be a benefit but we were looking for a smooth ride and we were looking to not break trailers and we did that if you ever go to railroad tracks the steep angle of attack and you go the truck goes over you can hang up your lane all the time it happens okay and so that's a very very big concern you don't know when that trade's coming and it may not come at all but what you can do you can get out of the truck extend your airbags up to eight inches of clearance and scissors get over their old tracks get the same thing in a ditch there's nothing moving yeah i'm gonna air it all the way up and i want to show you something you think what if you air all the way up it's gonna be stiff and rigid like a fixed neck right this is all you all the way up and it's the same thing if you want to put an obstacle to clear your jacks you can clear your jacks and then you can come
