Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a plurality of ride height sensors, a brake system and a controller. The ride height sensors may determine ride height information associated with individual wheels of a vehicle. The brake system may apply braking force to the individual wheels of the vehicle responsive to provision of a brake application signal. The controller may generate the brake application signal during vehicle pitch based on vehicle speed and the ride height information.
