  • Hydraulic suspension system for lowering the ride height of a vehicle
    Patent number: 9168805
    Abstract: A hydraulic system for lowering the ride height of a vehicle includes at least one hydraulic shock mounted to the suspension of the vehicle. Each of the hydraulic shocks has a floating bearing in the hydraulic shock, and an inlet. The inlet is hydraulically connected to a central manifold that is adapted to move fluid into and out of the hydraulic shock for moving the floating bearing in each of the hydraulic shocks. When the floating bearing is moved in the hydraulic shock, the hydraulic shock shortens thereby lowering the ride height of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Hydraulic anti-roll system
    Patent number: 8167318
    Abstract: A hydraulic anti-roll system for a vehicle includes a first hydraulic actuator, a second hydraulic actuator, an anti-roll control module, and an anti-roll bypass valve. The first hydraulic actuator is adapted to be connected between the suspension and frame of the vehicle on one side and the second hydraulic actuator is adapted to be connected between the suspension and frame of the vehicle on its other side. The anti-roll control module is connected between the fluid lines of the first and second hydraulic actuators. The anti-roll control module stiffens the compression of the first hydraulic actuator relative to the expansion of the second hydraulic actuator, and stiffens the compression of the second hydraulic actuator relative to the expansion of the first hydraulic actuator. The anti-roll bypass valve is adapted to activate and deactivate the stiffening of the anti-roll control module.
