A method of orientating a vehicle for a potential impact includes detecting an object proximate a vehicle with at least one sensor mounted to the vehicle, identifying if the object is a pedestrian, determining a potential for a collision between the object and the vehicle with a controller mounted within the vehicle and determining a vehicle orientation for mitigating damage based on the determined potential for collision. The determined vehicle orientation includes at least an independent determination of a ride height for each corner of the vehicle. The method further includes actuating a suspension component to move each corner of the vehicle to the determined ride height for that corner independent of the other corners of the vehicle to place the vehicle in an orientation determined to mitigate damage and injury. A controller provides the independent determination of a ride height for each corner of the vehicle. The controller further is configured to initiate actuation of at least one suspension component of the vehicle to place the vehicle in the determined vehicle orientation that mitigates injury.
