depends. I had them in crails on a hellcat. While they were really stable, they couldn't turn AT ALL. I prefer my trucks turny, so i don't really like them.

I totally agree about the jimz bushings being stable but not turny because of the size of them...if you are using crails and want turny truck just use venom downhill bushings or any other barrel.
this may be true in crails, in which i have no experience, but JimZ in bears are pure money. i highly recommend em. just make sure u get a large washer for the bottom jimz
Yeah...thats what happens with Crails and 25mph runs, the crails dont turn. Because crails arent meant for cruising, or slow speed.
Jimz turn great in a lot of setups, like 42/42 randals.

Alot also depends on your weight. Due to jimz bushings only coming in 1 duro, they may or may not suit you. I feel like they turn plenty for me in whatever trucks I have them in, enough even to rail garage corners on a buttboard. But then I am 190 lbs.
jimz bushings are not worth it.
almost no rebound, and they fall apart super easy
I agree they fall apart WAY to easy one of mine was ripped in a week and another soon followed.

Get them if you are doing actual 40+ mph, if its just for garages and cruising they don't turn enough imo. Though honestly I like venoms and karrot reflex/abec11 bushings more... and they're both cheaper.
I think you should get some White ones and mess around with them, they are the only bushings like them. I didn't think they did much compared to standard bushings on my randals, but I like them on my grizzlies. To me they have a strong return to center (rebound?) which makes it easier to hold a desired line through high speed corners (vs a floppy dead bushing which relies more heavily on your ankles to control the board angle). I have some boards with dead floppy bushings which gives me faster board tilt control, and a Hellcat with JimZ's which seem to make it more predictable but require a harder lean to turn the board. If you like to mess around with set-ups, then definitely get some (only $25).
Bushings threads. Love 'em to death. But the answer should always be "f.uck around and see what works."
Hated them in my grizzlies. Cold soup. But I wicked heart my jimz in their very unintended purpose: bottoms on indy's for cruising, carving. White front, black back. Cupped yellow Venom tops. Who woulda thunk it?
And for those who report shredding (not the good kind), please tell us you're not relying on those silly built-in washers on the tops.
