Abstract

A system configured to modify limits of at least one of vehicle ride height adjustability and wheel pivot distance based on wheel diameter. The system includes: a wheel speed sensor; a GPS receiver; an adjustable ride height system configured to raise and lower a body of a vehicle; a steering system configured to pivot wheels of the vehicle; and a control module. The control module is configured to: determine a wheel speed of a wheel based on an input from the wheel speed sensor; determine a vehicle speed based on GPS signals; compare the wheel speed and the vehicle speed, and identify a discrepancy therebetween; determine a wheel diameter based on the discrepancy; and modify at least one of a ride height adjustability limit of the adjustable ride height system and a wheel pivot distance limit of a steering system based on the wheel diameter determined.
