A military vehicle includes a passenger capsule, a front module, a rear module, and a control system. The front module includes a front frame assembly coupled to a front end of the passenger capsule, a front axle, and a front suspension positioned between the front axle and the front frame assembly. The rear module includes a rear frame assembly coupled to a rear end of the passenger capsule, a rear axle, and a rear suspension positioned between the rear axle and the rear frame assembly. Each of the front suspension and the rear suspension includes a pair of gas springs and a pair of dampers. The control system is configured to monitor a ride height of the military vehicle and control the pair of gas springs of the front suspension and the rear suspension to adjust the ride height as load is added to or removed from the military vehicle.
