what bitching happened before? i corrected you, that was all...
well now im offended...can i bitch? my bad, i didnt know you were going to pms about being wrong and getting called out on it.
let me fix it
I am sorry that you were wrong and got corrected. I apologize that you thought you were right and that you thought you knew more about these trucks than you really did. I am really sorry that the truck companies did not design their trucks to match what you said.
please for give me?
You must spread some rep around before giving it to snozzboarder55 again.

same way you would flip a randal. just turn em over and mount them

I got Independent 169s and they are regular trucks, not randal like hangars so I don't think i can just flip the hangar like that.
Put up some pictures.

Bears have a lot of lean for a 50+ degree truck and bustins are notorious for bite, go for randals.

Can someone here explain to me how flipping a Bear hanger changes the angle of the truck? I've never understood that.
It makes as much sense as flipping an Indy hanger. I tried it with my 215's, and all they did was flop around when I mounted them.
You can only "flip" reverse kingpins and it doesn't change baseplate angle, it changes offset and therefor effective pivot angle. IME flipped trucks have a larger dead spot at center then the truck would normally have and therefor I do not recommend it, especially on topmounts as it increases the chance of wheelbite and I REALLY HATE wheelbite.

Bear and Randall hangers are cast with the bushing seat out of line with the pivot point. If you like it may be easier to picture it as recessed on one side and proud on the other. Unflipped the bottom bushing sits on the unrecessed side of the hanger thus actually increasing the angle that the hanger pivots through, flipped the opposite is true, so it decreases the angle. With bears it 5 degrees and randals it's 3 degrees + or -.
You can see it best if you look at a Bear truck and how the hanger sits on the bushing with the king pin nut slackened off so the bushing isn't compressed. With the hanger unflipped there will be a gap between the bottom bushing and the bushing seat, where the bushing seat is next to the axel. You can see it with a Randall truck as well, but it's not as obvious because of the smaller differential, 3 degrees rather than 5.
So a 52 deg bear truck unflipped id actually 57 degrees, and flipped is 47 degrees.
A 50 deg Randall truck is 53 and 47 degrees.
Flipping the hanger also affects other handling characteristics, but mainly just makes things more stable, but with less grip, and less return to centre force.
There are pictures on the FAQ section of the randall website.
Hope this helps.
Just get a truck and look closely, I'm sure you'll figure it out.
