Skateboard Trucks are the metal pieces connected to the skateboard that control your turning.
- Trucks also incorperate two bushings, which are the mechanism by which a truck turns. Hard bushing are normally used if you like your trucks tight. Softer bushing are normally used if you like your trucks loose. Almost every pro truck is made out of some sort of aluminum. 99% of all street trucks made have axles measuring in at 7.62" (which in the industry are either called 5.0's or 129mm) This size is perfect for most street decks 7.5 through 8.0. This is the standard size for a Skateboard Truck.
- For Old School Decks and Longboards, try to stay between 8.5 and 9.25" wide. The wider the truck, the more stable the truck. However, the wider the truck, the slower it turns. All of our longboard trucks and old school trucks are 8.75" and pretty much in the sweet spot in length for this use.
Bottom Line: Rest assured, all of the trucks we use on our Skateboard Completes or just the Skateboard Trucks that we sell seperately are made from 7005 aluminum. Before you buy, make sure the trucks you buy are made out of a high grade aluminum and a high grade axle and king pin.
Installation:
1. Place your deck grip side down (Top Side) on your work area. Find the mounting holes and punch holes through the grip tape with one of the bolts from your mounting hardware. Once holes have been punched through your grip tape, flip your deck over and push your mounting hardware through the holes.
2. Slide your trucks on to your mounting hardware; be sure the bushing are facing each other. Install all the truck mounting nuts on to all the truck-mounting bolts and finger tighten them. Finally, tighten the truck mounting hardware.
