andy305mia;

Welcome to the groove group! One way is to install 14 inch wheels and low profile tires. If you do first make shure the wheels will clear the brake system.

Have a good one.. Don S..

Now the whole world is going to hate America for burning food in our trucks. Can you spell Corn Ethanol?

If im not mistaken, the Frontier suspension setup and Titan setup are similar. There might be lowering kits/methods for Titans that might be applicable for the Frontier with slight differences in the parts you need because of the size difference in the trucks.

Im not really a low rider man when it comes to my truck, I like to go off roading...so lowering things are not my specialty, but I have friends that live by the phrase "spark it, or park it"

You could either cut some turns out of the springs for the front...or buy shorter springs to do it the right way , and put some blocks in the back with longer u-bolts. From what I understand, the blocks and u-bolts are pretty generic so your nearest Advance/Auto Zone/Oriley/Napa will probably have them. Short springs might be a little harder to find but it should not pose much of a problem.
