In a particular embodiment, a vehicle load measurement system is described that includes a chassis configured to support a body of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the vehicle load measurement system also includes a suspension system and a plurality of angle sensors attached to the suspension system. Each angle sensor is configured to measure an angle with respect to height. In this embodiment, the plurality of angle sensors include a first sensor attached to the first side of the suspension system configured to measure a first angle and a second sensor attached to the second side of the suspension system configured to measure a second angle. According to this embodiment, the first angle and the second angle are combined to obtain a combined value representative of axle load.
