Im curious about how you guys set your trucks up, special methods, preferences and all that nerdy stuff.
Here's mine:
Thunder 147's riding 8.1-825 and 54 wheels
-replacement 100a Thunder bushings
-Bottom washers left out
-Front truck Flush( edit:perhaps the smallest tad under now) with some wobble
-Back truck 1-2 threads showing edit: correction, back truck is now barely over flush, loosened it when It got colder
-risers
Seriously can't complain about this set-up in anyway, for me its perfect, loose up front for quick turns and tighter in back stabilises on landings and at high speeds. The hard bushing and loose front works really well for me, best of both worlds.
All my trucks(except theeve) I keep stock bushings
And I tighten them around perfect flush or a thread or 2 past, I like the way the trucks are stock
I use to try and mess with my bushings and thinner or thicker washers and barrel vs cone shape but in the end it just furthers my madness so just keep it as it came from the factory cause in reality
The pros that rip the hardest don’t do anything but tighten or loosen their trucks out the box(and or occasionally swap out for bones cause they’re still following the gimmick bones bushings are the best cause they’re broken in right out the gate)
I loved messing with my trucks back then and finding that Goldilocks setup that made the trucks special but I think it was only special in helping me be better at one area like flip tricks or cruising cause yeah I could do all my flip tricks using barrel bushings vs cone but turning was a nightmare
So I keep the trucks as they came and oddly enough it always works best, Love the 90a stock thunder bushings in thunders, soft enough you can get a decent turn but stiff and shaped well to help bounce back to center and pop tricks better
