I have had the same trailer since new - back in 2002. Probably 10 years ago I added a Trail Air to it. My experience is it was a waste of $.
I added it to try to smooth out some chucking when I tow my boat in tandem, and I notice no difference in performance before adding it vs after.
Hitching up is the same as before. Unhitching can be a pain as it does change the angle. It was bad with both a Superglide in my short bed and a Reese elite. To unhitch, I’d have to lower the landing gear, take weight off the hitch, get back in the truck and let it back up just a touch, then it would release.
I’m now using an Anderson hitch with my new truck and I no longer have the issue I had with the prior two hitches.
My experience is I’d not buy this again. Maybe a true air hitch works better. This one was a waste.
