What's going on everyone. I just bought a 1999 frontier king cab and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a lowering kit or lowering parts. I want to do a 4/5 drop if possible.

i've never been one to understand lowering a truck...they go up man..up :) j/k to each their own, i'm waiting to get a 3 inch lift for mine even tho it's a 2wd...not sure why but i like the look i saw on one the other day, not that i necessarily need the clearance but it looked nice.

good luck with your lowering project man

I'm a firm believer in 3 things.

1. A truck should stay stock if you don't show it off

2. if it's 2wd, drop it

3. if it's 4wd, jack it up

I did my lowering project on my old 90 D21... now I'm trying to sell my colorado so i can find a 02-04 Frontier 4x4 so I can jack it up.

Ohh the ones on my colorado fill the gap nicely. 

The harder part is finding a 02-04 Frontier 4x4 King Cab, Manual in my area.  I don't care which engine, cause I can get a lot of power either way. 

I've found a couple in the area, but they're either automatic, supercharged, or crewcab.

Yeah, dropping your truck would be easy. What I did is got the 3" Belltech drop block kit for the rear ($35) and leveled out the front using a torsion bar crank. So for a small amount of money, a 2/3 drop. I also coupled that with some Belltech Nitro Active shocks too, which make for a much smoother ride. When you want to go lower, you get into some more serious money. Drop spindles will lower it a couple more inches in front, and a new set of drop leaf springs will lower it 3 more in the rear.
