Systems and methods for load monitoring and/or braking control. The load monitoring may include calculating a weight on one or more axles of a vehicle or a trailer using cross-flow pressure information indicative of an air pressure within a cross-flow passage between first and second leveling valves of first and second pneumatic circuits configured to adjust independently heights on first and second sides, respectively, of the vehicle or the trailer. The braking control may include (i) using the cross-flow pressure and speed and/or acceleration information indicative of a speed and/or acceleration of the vehicle and/or the trailer to calculate first and second brake application levels and (ii) applying the calculated first and second brake application levels to first and second brakes on the first and second sides, respectively, of the vehicle or the trailer.
