What size trucks is preffered for 8.5 decks?
Cant decide between Indy 144 or 149s. I'm setting them up with conicals or conical fulls depending on whats available.
Are you for sure planning on staying that size. Because either truck will work really well if you like Indy's.
I would buy the 144 because the 139 stage 11 is one of my favorite trucks. The 149 I had was no where as good as the 159 truck.
I would buy a 159 over a 149 always.
If you could potentially go above 8.5 and a 159 isn't an option
149 hollows
I tried hollow 149s right before I bought these hollow ventures.
My friend Drew has been riding them for a while and they were nice but they felt lower I think they might have been stage X.
If you're potentially going back down in size or I would go 144.
I always tell people to get genuine independent replacement parts conical bushings.
Even tight trucks turn with the conical bushings and they last way longer than the stock ones.
It's almost as if they're two different materials.

Ace 44
I second this. With conical wheels it's the perfect combination with any 8.5
