I've got a dedicated LDP board now and a small slew of wheels/bearings gathered. Now all I need is trucks, risers, and hardware.

I'm pretty dialed in on getting a bennett 5.0 and a Seismic ST 130mm with medium springs (I weigh in at about 160 lbs). I'm also setting myself up with the khiro wedge kit. SO that leaves...what? Do I need risers beyond this to keep from getting wheel bite? I'm getting mixed signals here on how high my board needs to be off the trucks. BigZigs will be my largest wheel. Just don't want to place an order before I know I got everything I need. This is getting expensive already  Rolling Eyes

I will be using this on almost all flat ground. I'm mostly concerned with having fun with a dedicated LDP deck. Second concern will be speed over long distances. Pretty sure I don't need a 4.3, but not 100% sure the 6.0 wouldn't be a better choice for speed purposes. Eager to hear from you pros out there.

It would probably be a good idea to pick up two 80a Khiro soft wedges. Theyre about 5-7* and should probably go between your deck and the wedges. Theyll help dampen some vibration and keep your deck looking nice.

For Flat ground I love Bennett 6.0 with Seismic Stable 155mm.  I can even go up decent slopes just fine with them.

I am 175 lbs and use purple springs.  

Good luck deciding!   Very Happy

nice, do you think the 6.0 is significantly harder to pump than a 5.0?  Top speed, I would assume, is probably higher with the wider truck (as has been pointed out in other threads here).

Also, what length hardware do I need?

Significantly?  No.  Not to me at least.   I don't know how much faster I go but at higher speeds I can maintain it better.  A bit lower frequency.  Like a couple gears higher on a bike.

Alright, I just put it a nice fat order at daddies for all my bits and pieces. What I got:

Khiro 1/2 Angled Hard Riser Pads
Khiro Angle Wedge Riser Rail Kit
Bennett Trucks Vector Model 5.0 (1 Truck)
Seismic Truck Replacement Springs Medium Dark Green
Khiro Hardcore Hardware Max-7 Panhead Hardcore Hardware Kit
Khiro STEEL Wheel Spacers 8mm x 10mm Set of 4
Seismic Trucks 130mm Stable Truck

Thanks for the help. If you see anything missing here (other than the board) let me know! Can't wait to get this set up.
