A weight distribution system for dynamically controlling and adjusting the weight load on each axle of a vehicle uses a manifold that is fluid flow disposed between a source of pressured air and the air bags of the vehicle. The manifold allows an individual air bag to be inflated or deflated independently of the other air bags to a desired pressurization depending on either preprogrammed or user input parameters or external conditions. The system can be used to raise and lower the tractor or trailer for tractor and trailer coupling and decoupling. The system can quickly change air bag pressure to try and avoid a rollover. The system can monitor road and weather conditions and adjust the vehicle suspension accordingly. The system can adjust the suspension based on vehicle speed. The system can keep the vehicle at a constant height while loading or unloading. The system can keep track of the weight of the vehicle.
