Tracker B-2 trucks and original skateboard trucks, help.I have two sets of trucks available to me. The first is a pair of tracker B-2 that i have on my board currently. The second is a pair of original skateboards brand trucks. Is the B-2 truck much different then the RTS? Is it worth swapping them for RTS trucks? I am new to all this but I want to try LDP with the board I have, which is a freeride brand skateboard. It is a little long with the wheelbase being about 33" but it's what I have. The original bearings on the B-2's were very hard so I swapped them out for blue doh-doh's both front and back (the softest they have). Should I put the hard ones back in the back and leave the soft ones in the front? Should I swap the front or both trucks to the original skateboard trucks? I currently have the stock thick wedges in the front and back. I know I need more of an angle but it's what I have for now. Even though what I have isn't perfect should I flip the rear wedge to dewedge the rear?
I know it's a lot of questions but having no experience with this I am a little overwhelmed on all my options.
