Abstract

A suspension system for a land vehicle is provided with at least one actuator connected to a chassis and an axle of a land vehicle spaced apart from a pivotal connection of the axle. A suspension circuit is in cooperation with the at least one actuator. A controller is in operable communication with the suspension circuit and is programmed to receive input indicative of a travel speed of the land vehicle. The suspension circuit is closed at a low speed travel range to permit the axle to pivot in response to variations in an underlying support surface. The suspension circuit is opened to permit selective actuation of the at least one actuator at a higher speed travel range in response to variations in the underlying support surface.
