How low can we go?

[Devineskra]

I am in a 2012 Nissan Frontier S 2wd with the 4 banger. I am wanting to lower it as low as it can without scraping the ground. I haven't been able to find any affordable solutions. I found a 4 front and 8 back but it was 7k. I am not really interested in putting bags on it either. Does anybody have solutions? Much appreciated in advance.

Well, according to specs, you have just about 9" of ground clearance when stock. I don't know your wheel gap or fender space, but figure you could tuck some of the top of the wheels. So, what, like 5"-6" drop maybe? Affordable solutions? I don't think so. You'll need quite a bit of suspension geometry correction. Adjustable arms, maybe drop knuckles (do those even exist for this vehicle?), shorter and stiffer springs, some nice rims with proper offset, plus tires. Maybe you want to lower it as low as you can afford (instead of as low as it can go). Got a budget in mind? Some places will cut springs and some will even cut dampers to reduce height and movement. It can be done, but I'm not so sure about keeping it affordable. Look for and talk with low-rider guys. They're a fun bunch, chill for sure, though they tend to lean towards the older vehicles.

Thank you! Yea it seems like it is hard to get lower that 2 in front and 3 in back without getting over 5k!
