Trucks are made in different sizes that are specific to the size board. To find the correct truck for your board, look for the axel width of the trucks. They should be within ¼ inch of the width of your deck, you don’t want them hanging out underneath the deck.
To find the right size trucks for your board:
- 7.75" Board Route One 5.0 Independent 129, Thunder 145, Venture 5.0, Krux 7.6
- 8" Board Route One 5.375, Independent 139, Thunder 147, Venture 5.2, Krux 8.0
- 8.25" Board Route One 5.375, Independent 144, Thunder 148, Krux 8.25
- 8.5" Board Route One 5.5, Independent 149, Thunder 149, Venture 5.8, Krux 8.5
Trucks can come in different premium lighter variants. This is a personal preference for the skateboarder, the lighter the truck the lighter the board, which will help with popping tricks and flipping boards quicker.
