Which trucks work good with the huffer?
I’d like to try it out and see if it’s for me.
I skate mostly small transitions and mini ramp, and I’m trying to get into street/park. I’m bad at both.
I have Indy forged 159s and cast hollow 169 on hand.
Should I try out if ventures or thunders are for me?
Currently I’m on the 9” Orange Eagle, but it’s a boat, and way long.
It has been said many times, but one of the nicest things about the Huffer is that you can run anything from an 8.5" to a 9" truck. My favorite are Indy 149s, but I've had a nice time on 159s.
If you're struggling with he length of the orange eagle, I wouldn't recommend going with Thunder or Venture because they'll push the WB out.
For me, and this is just me, I would put the cast hollow plates on the 159 hangars. I love cast hollows, and 159s fit really well on the Huffer. 169s might be good, but they're too wide for me.
For me the WB on the eagle is fine. As i understand I get a total WB of 18”, and Cast venture 5.8 would also net the same WB on a 14.75”, but total length would be shrunk by almost 0.75”
Good call on swapping the plates.
Actually, I can free up another cast plate, if I can’t swap kingpins on my 139 lows, and the cast. Bonus here will be my lows will get even lower.
That way I can keep my eagle, and setup a huffer or a Krooked/antihero/DLX/BBS 8.625 on 159.
I love Indy 159s on my Huffer. Perfect amount of truck for me.
cast or hollow, and what wheel size?
