Default Real air bag suspension system

I've seen a few attempts and versions of scale working air bags a few years ago and just saw this. Looks like they got it!

I've seen that video recently, out side of being able to change the approach and departure angle l'm not sure what it has to do with climbing but I liked the trucks ability to climb. Oh and the suspension is cool too!

so you drive the truck with the bags deflated and when you need to climb over something you inflate the bags?? because REAL trucks have leveling valves. novelty item just like brass gears

Anyone find details about the airbag-suspension in the video? Went to the site that built the truck but do not find the suspension system.
