An integrated ride height system is provided wherein the system is configured couple to a vehicle. The system includes a coilover shock absorber and a hydraulic preload cylinder coupled to a shock body of the coilover shock absorber. The hydraulic preload cylinder engages an end of a coil spring of the coilover shock absorber. The system includes a reservoir coupled to the shock absorber allowing hydraulic fluid to flow between the reservoir and the coilover shock absorber. The system includes a reversible pump coupled between the hydraulic preload cylinder and the reservoir, wherein the pump operates to pump hydraulic fluid from the reservoir to the hydraulic preload cylinder to extend the hydraulic preload cylinder to increase ride height of the vehicle and operates to pump hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic preload cylinder to the reservoir to retract the hydraulic preload cylinder to decrease ride height of the vehicle.
