How to Adjust Your Trucks:

1. Identify Your Riding Style

  • Looser trucks = More carve, quicker turns (great for cruising).
  • Tighter trucks = More stability, less wobble (ideal for higher speeds).

2. Adjusting the Bushings & Kingpin Nuts

  • Locate the four bushings on each truck.
  • Use a skate tool or wrench to tighten or loosen the kingpin nuts.
  • Tighter = More resistance, better for high-speed stability.
  • Looser = Easier carving, great for sharp turns.

3. Fine-Tuning Your Ride

  • Adjust both kingpins evenly to keep the trucks balanced.
  • Test ride and tweak as needed—small changes make a big difference.

Pro Tips:

🔹 If you’re new to double kingpin trucks, start tighter and gradually loosen as you get comfortable.
🔹 If you feel wobbly at higher speeds, tighten the back truck slightly more than the front.
🔹 Regularly check your bushings and bolts—they wear over time.

Finding the right setup is all about personal preference, so experiment and dial in what feels best for you. Enjoy the ride! 🚀
