And you should really make sure your wheel nutz are flush with you axle so no threads are exposed and do the same for your kingpin. You should never have any threads exposed other than your mounting hardware. There's a few reasons for this but the main ones are that it looks good, you don't have to worry about stripping your nutz, and it ensures your trucks are loose and you can actually turn and balance like a grown up.
If your a giant fat ass and flush kingpin nutz a too loose for you, lose weight or get harder bushings so you can go flush.

You have to have the Lites because they weight less. The regular nutz are too heavy and that inhibits the ollie part of the nollie.

Indy 149 and 7/8" Shortys Lites are best for switch heel flips, nollie nose manuals, and backside 180s.
damn 4real? im rocking some shorty�s right now but i cant do nollie nose manuals. defect pair? ill call them up and see if i can get them replaced.
you also have to make sure that you evenly tighten the wheel bolts so you have a balanced setup and your flips rotate equally good whether you do a kickflip or a heelflip. softer bushings give you "springier pop"
