Seeing how many Cadillacs and Porsches and what not get sold with semi-active or active suspension, I feel like it might not be too long before active suspension becomes a reasonable cost option with aftermarket offerings.
If I had a large chunk of cash I would personally send it the way of say, Levant Power, to get a prototype Genshock system on my car
It seems like in this day and age, it's a little strange that a softly sprung SUV would still buck and bounce on a crappy road when successful fully active suspension has been achieved for quite a few years and semi-active suspension is the norm for many lines of cars.
Their system in particular would consume power constantly if you wanted to lift your car, but you could just install an air compressor that adds static pressure to the fluid in the shocks or something for full ride height adjustment. Being able to raise the car a bit would be super nice for going into driveways.
