I really do believe that you will have to wait a long time for a lowering kit for the Titan.

Here is why:

1.  The Titan is exactly like the Tundra, they both are one platform trucks.  So essentially all of us with 2WD trucks are driving 4x4's with no transfer case or front differential.  That being said, a designer would have to figure bump stop removal, alignment, struts..etc, of lowering a 4wd.

2. You have to remember who designed this truck. Japanese Company.  The big three design their trucks with the after market in mind, despite what they will say.  Japan is a strict country, by law in Japan you have to replace the engine in your car every 30k miles, for emissions. So more than likely they same mentality will apear, of strict no modification.

Juat my thought on it...

Interesting thought. But I could of sworn that the Titan was designed by American engineers, in America, for Nissan. Therefore, after doing their research for a first run full size truck, the American deisigners would anticipate what aftermarket products to evolve for the Titan. Why would they make it so difficult after seeing the positive results of the domestic lines the aftermarket field? Why would Japan have such strict regulations on an automobile targeted at an American demographic, when the Titan would have little to no use in Japan? So Japan makes their population change the engines in their vehicles every 30K for inate reasons, then why do imports in America seem to last 3 times longer, with nearly no major replacement to the core system? I mean, my first truck was a 1987 Toyota pickup, bought it with 167K miles, and after 7 years, 335K, 3 sets of tires, battery, windshield, alternator, thermastat, and about 40 oil changes, the core system of the engine worked flawlessly. And I only lost about 60% of my purchase price. Meaning, we know that imports seem to work longer and better, so it would be safe to say the Titan will (should) produce the same results.
