1. A vehicle adaptive ride height system for a vehicle having a vehicle structure supported by a suspension system on a road surface, the vehicle adaptive ride height system comprising:
a vehicle adaptive ride height control module, comprising one or more processors to execute a set of instructions to dynamically:
execute a damping analysis and a vehicle attitude analysis of sensor data relating to operational parameters of the vehicle that comprise a current tire pressure of a front wheel of the vehicle and a current tire pressure of a rear wheel of the vehicle; and
simultaneously control, in response to the damping analysis and the vehicle attitude analysis of the sensor data, the front suspension and the rear suspension to cause movement of the vehicle structure, relative to the road surface, between a lowered state and a raised state.
