I used the search function and didn't find a thread that answered my question so here I am. Right now I'm running 265/75R16, but I'm curious on what other Frontier owners have done to increase their clearance in the front. Right now I have 9.5" or there abouts. I know most will say lift and run larger tires, but there is a Frontier I've seen around town with the same size tires but it appears he has more clearance than I do.
i went outside and measured at the same spot under the center of the front skid plate like your picture. My clearance there is 12.75". I have 3" coil spacers and 285/75/16 tires.
12.75" isn't bad, not bad at all. Previously you asked if this was a trick question, well no. I thought that a 2" spacer would just raise the truck and not affect the clearance in the front.
im also at 12.5-13 in the front but going from a tire thats 30.6 tall to 33" tall I gained 1.2" just on that.Chances are to the bottom edge of your front fender lip (center) your around 34-34 3/4" and im between 39-39 1/2 so your only gonna gain so much without some sorta lift.The spacer is going to make it so you can run larger tires=more ground clearance

What color is it? (the one you see around town and where at?)
I'll measure mine tonight and try to get it posted up. I have just a spacer, but it did lift me up a good amount. I still run the stockers, so this will be interesting.
I had to move to Wyoming, due to the economy, so the Frontier I see all the time is in Rock Springs. But I do come to Littleton quite often to check up on my house.
But yeah, I'm curious how much you have with your stock tires.
11 to 11.25 in the front. That is with stock tires and a 2.5'' spacer. My skid is destroyed I noticed and missing the 2 bolts towards the rear lol. I have another free oil change at the dealer, so I'll make them put on 2 bolts at my next oil change.
