A rapid ride height adjustment system is provided. The system includes a valve manifold, a pump coupled to the valve manifold, a reservoir coupled to the valve manifold, a control system coupled to the valve manifold, and a suspension of a vehicle coupled to the valve manifold. The control system regulates hydraulic fluid flow from the pump through the valve manifold and to the suspension to rapidly adjust a ride height of a vehicle. The control system may be programmed to have user determined rates of adjustment of the ride height of the vehicle. Another embodiment of the system includes a pump system coupled to a preload cylinder of a shock or a fork, and a dump valve coupled to the pump system and the preload cylinder. The dump valve opens to flow hydraulic fluid from the pressurized preload cylinder to rapidly adjust a ride height of a vehicle.
