Aspects relate to systems and methods for pre-emptively managing suspension loads. A control system (100, 200) is configured to receive a driving surface signal (165) indicative of a property of a driving surface ahead of the vehicle (600). The control system is further configured to determine, in dependence on the received driving surface signal and on a current vehicle operational state, an attribute parameter. The attribute parameter, when provided to an actuator (318a, 318b . . . 318z) of the suspension system, causes the actuator to act to control a suspension force acting on the suspension system due to a movement of the vehicle along the driving surface to be below a predetermined suspension force value.
