not enough pics of ground down trucks in this thread. word to pic ratio way out of proportion
Since no one answered my question from a few pages ago I messeaged Krux and actually got an email back from Ron Whaley. Pretty much just checked to see that your indy trucks could wobble with the downlow kingpin and he seemed pretty positive that it wouldn't be a problem with some JB weld. My trucks are down to the axle and I've gone through a couple kingpins and about 6 kingpin nuts in the past few months, mostly just from them stripping. A nut fell off again last night because it was stripped out, and I'm going through the truck crisis yet again.
I was wondering if any of you have certain things you do to stretch the life of your trucks. My biggest issue is having the kingpin stick up past hanger, which makes smith grinds a nightmare. Its hard to find the point where they will turn like you want them too, without the it sticking up too much. I might just glue the nuts in place and file them down for now, but I plan on trying the Krux kingpins at some point soon
This is probably my favorite thread these days, and I really enjoy reading and seeing photos of peoples truck neuroticism, especially Steve and Xen. Also agree that the word to pic ratio is way off so here are some photos.
Back Truck, Put some indy hard low bushing on top yesterday because the top bushings kept eroding to nothing

Had Problems with trucks sliding side to side too. Not that bad, but slightly frustrating.
