Generally, match your truck width to your deck width. Wider trucks (180mm) suit wider decks and offer more stability, while narrower trucks (150mm) are better for agility and sliding.
Cast trucks are more affordable and suitable for most riders. Forged trucks are stronger, lighter, and offer superior performance, making them ideal for advanced riders and downhill racing.
With proper maintenance, quality trucks can last years. Replace them if you notice cracks, excessive play in the pivot cup, or significant bending.
While possible, it's generally recommended to use matching trucks for consistent performance. If mixing, ensure compatible geometry and mounting styles.
Higher angles (50°+) offer more turn and less stability, ideal for carving and cruising. Lower angles (40°-) provide more stability at speed, perfect for downhill riding.
Reverse kingpin trucks (RKP) are designed specifically for longboards and provide greater stability and responsiveness, making them ideal for cruising, carving, and downhill riding. Traditional kingpin trucks (TKP) are more commonly used on skateboards and offer a lower profile, which is better for tricks and technical riding. RKP trucks have the kingpin facing outward, while TKP trucks have the kingpin facing inward.
The width of the trucks should match the width of the longboard deck to ensure optimal performance. Wider trucks (180mm or more) provide better stability and control, which is beneficial for downhill and high-speed riding. Narrower trucks (150-170mm) offer more agility and quicker turns, making them suitable for freestyle and cruising. Matching the truck width to the deck width helps maintain balance and prevents wheel bite.

The baseplate angle of longboard trucks affects the turning radius and stability of the board. Higher baseplate angles (50-55 degrees) offer sharper turns and greater maneuverability, making them ideal for carving and freestyle riding. Lower baseplate angles (40-45 degrees) provide increased stability and control at high speeds, which is preferable for downhill riding. Some riders use a combination of angles (e.g., a higher angle in the front and a lower angle in the back) to achieve a balance between maneuverability and stability.
Bushings are the rubbery components in longboard trucks that affect the board's responsiveness and turning capability. Softer bushings (durometer 78A-87A) offer a smoother, more responsive ride with easier turns, suitable for lighter riders and carving. Harder bushings (durometer 88A-101A) provide more resistance and stability, making them ideal for heavier riders and downhill riding. Bushing shape (cylindrical, cone, or barrel) also influences the ride, with cone bushings allowing more movement and barrel bushings offering more stability.
The mounting style of longboard trucks affects the board's ride height and overall performance. Top-mounted trucks are mounted directly on top of the deck, offering a higher ride height and increased leverage for deep carving and sharper turns. Drop-through trucks are mounted through cutouts in the deck, lowering the ride height and providing greater stability and ease of pushing, which is beneficial for long-distance cruising and downhill riding. Each mounting style offers distinct advantages depending on the rider's preferred style and terrain.
