2005-2021 Nissan Frontier Springs

Everything else in the second-gen Frontier suspension build sits on top of the springs, which means getting that choice right before anything else is the correct order of operations, and 2005-2021 Nissan Frontier Springs are the foundation worth spending time on. Spring rate, travel, and load capacity all need to match what the truck is actually doing — a spring tuned for an unloaded daily driver is the wrong answer on a truck that regularly carries gear or tows.

 

Progressive rate coil springs are the most practical choice for a Frontier that splits time between trail and daily use — they ride softly when the truck is light and firm up as load and G-forces increase, which covers both conditions without requiring a spring swap between uses. Owners who tow or carry consistently heavy loads in the bed should move toward a higher base rate spring rather than a progressive design since the soft initial rate of a progressive spring produces unwanted squat before the rate ramps up.

 

Getting the spring selection right on the second-gen Frontier is what 2005-2021 Nissan Frontier Springs are for.
