Default Bushings on a dervish?

I'm putting randalls on a flex 2 dervish. And Lemon BigZigs. I want a smooth ride, carvy, u no. Should I leave to stock bushings on there? Anyone have any ideas for bushings?

The bushing-less trucks are carvy, but I prefer the marginal improvement in stability with my Khiro double barreled with medium-soft on bottom and soft on top.

It`s just impossible to answer a bushing question without knowing your weight.....

But if your Randals came with the standard yellow bushing and you weigh around 160, the stock bushing will do just fine.

I don't want to take the bushings out completely. Not stable enough. I guess I should have said this in the original post but; I'll be using this board for alot of commuting and pumping as well as carving.

mine has paris trucks with stock randal bushings, but looooooose and with no washer on the bottom barrel bushing. they might not last as long (although they are totally fine after 3 weeks), but the ride (with a flex 2 and lemon big zigs) is amazing. so turny. so smooth. it's buttah babeeee. you could probably have almost the exact same feel with your randals, just loosen 'em off a bit.

you could also try putting in some venoms stims.

Get some flat washers and leave the stock bushings in there. You will be fine. Home Depot has the flat washers for .09 each. Stock code "ABB" is stamped on the washer.
