@Mbrimson88 you've mentioned it elsewhere, but can you go into more detail on your process for shortening kingpins and top bushings?
Looks sick! Do you cut down kingpin and bushing by exactly the same amount?
The funny thing is it just kind of happened to come together like that.
The baseplates / kingpins were from someone who had issues with them, so I used an angle grinder and rounded / cut the tops off as he was always getting caught on things.
The bushings from another time I cut them down for someone else and then they didn't want them as they thought they wouldn't work - clearly they work just fine in this board I set up and I can skate it perfectly well with cut down bushings.
Everything just worked out and I could have had the kingpin nut done up tighter, but it actually works fairly well being as loose as it is.
The Instagram posts for Bushings, Kingpins, and the like below, pretty much all the text in the posts explains how, but I can always send anyone all the plain text too, if needed - just thought it is a bit much to post it all here, but I think it has been a while and the other times I posted these are lost in the old pages - now at 344 pages long in truck setups.
EDIT: I do use an angle grinder a whole lot more than I should for lots of things, but I find it works best to round off the tops, rather than specifically cut down kingpins, even though I have cut straight through other brand kingpins that have been sitting up way too high. Also easiest to do it all when the complete is set up, bushings in place too, so you know how far down you want to go - a kingpin that is too short is no fun at all.
