A vehicle includes suspensions including dampers. The dampers are controlled by a control system that receives two or more input signals relating to body roll of the vehicle and normalizes the two or more input signals to obtain two or more normalized signals. The two or more normalized signals are combined and the combined signal and a speed of the vehicle are used to calculate a common damper force. The common damper force is used to calculate, for each wheel of a plurality of wheels of the vehicle, a damper force corresponding to each wheel. The operation of a damper for a wheel is then commanded according to the damper force corresponding to that wheel. The two or more input signals relating to body roll may include steering rate, lateral acceleration, lateral jerk, and yaw rate.
