Default Good Set-Up for Pumping?

I'm trying to dial in my board to pump just right. I keep switching the wheel size though because I can't make my mind up. I have some 70mm 78a wheels on right now, not sure where they're from but they do ok. I'm also looking for a new set of trucks. Any thoughts?

Bennetts fo sho. people keep hyping them up and I thought they were full of it, but when I tried it it was AMAZING! I put so little effort and i was pumping along. Wheels i'm not really sure about. I know harder wheels are easier for cruising.

The 70mm 78 should be good for all around terrain. What type of stuff are you riding on? If it is really nice smooth black top then you could go a little harder duro but you should be okay with what you have.

I have heard really good things about a Bennett in the front as well. I am ordering one soon. If your board is too stiff then you will not get everything out of your pumping. I am looking at a few of the decks that are build for LDP now to get the most out of the pumps.
