I'm 50,000 miles away from 300,000 miles on my 2014 Nissan frontier I've affectionately named the fronturd, I always said when it hits 300k ill replace it with another daily driver and move it to the side in the fleet as just the dedicated camping tail rig and hunting truck.

I'm reaching out here to the forum as it seems yall have done some shit, seen some shit and know some shit.
The truck so far is on 33"s and does pretty well. It could probably wheel the rest of its life on 33"s in my area and be fine. I realistically wouldn't need anymore then 35"s But 37"s are cool.

Option 1. Keep it IFS with a Titan swap, 33"-35" tires.

Option 2. Dana 44 front axle from a jeep Rubicon Jk. and SAS the truck. The Jk Axle Uses almost identical tone rings For the abs. keeps 4wd happy. If the truck doesn't have a wheel sensor connection the electronic transfer case wont shift and nobody makes a manual shift kit for the transfer case. Limits me to a 35" tire to play it safe ,don't really want to snap a lot of axles and flintstone out the trail with my 6 year old twins. The truck already has A Dana 44 super in the rear with an E-locker.

Option 3. Tons an 40's for the shorty's. Run tons 35'"-40" tire. I believe rugged rocks( there website is down so I cant confirm.) Makes a tone ring kit for these bigger axles to make ABS happy or Pony up and get a T case.

Option 4. Sell it and buy something else.

I'm asking now as I'm a parts hoarder. My truck so far has been built on Right place right time deals.
 
Considering you said you'd likely never wheel it any harder than its current state,

Option 1:

OEM Titan parts, good shocks with some tuning, OME rear springs.

Those damn Frontiers have an odd bolt pattern, so you'd be either be converting the front or rear to have 4 matching wheels.

Titans use the Tacoma/Chevy pattern. I'd also swap the rear over to keep the track width matching. I've been looking into doing a Chevy '63 rear spring setup. I don't wheel it hard now as it's my daily driver. Soon, I'll replace it with something that works better for the business.
 
Option 5: TTB the front, link the back, and let it live out the rest of its life on jackstands as an unfinished project.
This vision has rolled through my mind before. Seems like you can't give away a TTB in my area. They are everywhere under $300
