Displacement sensors can include a photon source and a target surface disposed in spaced relation to the photon source. Displacement sensors can also include a photon receptor disposed along an associated gas spring end member in spaced relation to the target surface. A processor can be communicatively coupled with the photon source and the photon receptor. The photon source can be operable to direct photons toward the target surface. The photon receptor can be operable to generate a signal upon receiving photons reflected off the target surface from the photon source. The processor can operate to determine a distance having a relationship to a time of flight of photons reflected off of the target surface from the photon source and received at the photon receptor. A gas spring assembly including such a displacement sensor, and a suspension system including one or more of such gas spring assemblies are also included.
