    Default Various Truck Heights (Comparison Pictures Inside)

    I just traded some 215s for some Paris for my dancer (feels WAY better on tall tippy trucks) and I thought I'd take some pictures while they were off boards.

    Paris 180 50º vs. Indy no riser


    Paris 180 50º vs. Indy 1/8" riser


    Paris 180 50º vs. Indy 5/8" riser


    So it appears Indys are 5/8" lower than 50º trucks. Feel free to upload some more pictures if you guys got them.

    Nice thread, thanks!

    I'm sure someone has all or most of the cast trucks on this website......would they like to set a couple minutes aside to post a mass comparison pic?? (randal,paris,crail,sabre,indy, core hybrid i guess, bear,bennett,holey) ?

    Bump because I see a lot of people asking about height differences.

    FWIW, Indys are rad on topmounts and 1/2" risers. It's still lower than 50° trucks too.

    This is an old and not-very-good picture of a Bennett 5.0 vs. an Indy 169. Bennett was about 3mm taller then the Indy. I'll upload some more later tonight.

    I think that picture would be better if the straight edge was balanced on the axles rather than the hangers.
