Off-Road Nissan Frontier Runs Custom Suspension That Will Break Your Brain

Nothing complicates a build quite like radically changing the goal halfway through. So, when the owner of a Nissan Frontier upped the ante in the midst of a serious desert runner build, the shop designing it had to fab up a custom suspension setup that seems like it shouldn't work. And yet, it does.

The build was documented on YouTube channel Wheel Every Weekend, which is building a 2012 Nissan Frontier desert truck. Their customer first wanted a spring-under leaf spring rear suspension and flatbed, but then changed their mind and added an exo-cage. That's when the shop realized packaging was quickly getting out of hand, and that its usual solutions wouldn't work. So, they did the only sensible thing and totally redesigned the Nissan's rear suspension.
