Is a lowered Nissan Frontier harder to drive?

I have the opportunity to buy a used Nissan Frontier for a pretty good price, but the previous owner had it lowered and I don’t know how that will affect the truck’s performance and handling. Is a lowered Nissan Frontier harder to drive?

Generally speaking, a lowered Nissan Frontier is not going to be harder to drive than a normal or lifted version—in fact, you’ll actually enjoy better aerodynamics, improved handling/maneuverability, and increased tire traction.
This is largely due to the fact that lowering a truck’s suspension reduces the vehicle’s overall height, lowers the center of gravity, and increases the total downforce—all of which makes your vehicle easier to control, minimizes body lean when turning corners, and reduces the risk of rollover.
If you’re looking to take this truck off-roading, however, you will find it harder to drive, as it will not be able to clear rough terrain or obstacles with the same ease as, say, a lifted Nissan Frontier.
Regardless of whether your truck is lowered, lifted, or somewhere in between, you’ll want to make sure it’s covered by the lowest
