Abstract
A controllable suspension system includes air springs and variable damping shock absorbers (108) switchable between first and second effective spring rates and soft and firm damping rates. At speeds above a given speed, lateral accelerations exceeding predetermined limit will result in switching the shock absorbers to firm and closing front and rear gate valves (126,128) between left and right air springs to increase the spring rate from a first effective spring rate to a second effective spring rate to increase vehicle tilt stabilization.
