Anyone running JimZ bushings with Randal trucks?

**lxa4christ** · 05-02-2006 07:50 PM

I am running them with DH baseplates and 180 hangers. The bushings seem a little big, but seem to fit OK once I tighten the bolt. I just wanted to see if anyone was running them and how they are working? Thanks....

I run them in my 180s, real loose for carving and real tight for bombing and they work great, i just have a big washer on the bottom between bushing and base plate. my buddy max runs um on his dh's with a big washer as well and he loves um.

I've got that combo - on RII 150s...very nice.

I also loaded some into the Airflow 110s rear, very nice there too.

Maybe Jim Stimz are the best all around bushings out there. Only thing close would be Radikals but they don;t fit very many trucks well.

I dont know, maybe I'll get some flat washers and Jimz Bushings for Christmas. Will they go good with Crails?

NO! With crails the entire setup turns into bacon. Just a giant delicious pile of bacon. You wont have to worry about breakfast for months.

Honestly I have no idea but it should work fine.

Yes, Crails and JimZ bushings work great together.

JimZ work fine with Crails and Force.

Do they fit the 160mm DH hangers as well?

yeap, i have them on my C7's aswell. the force trucks were made to fit jim'z bushings perfectly.

i didnt really like them at first, as they were alot softer than i was used to, but i got used to them and now ill never go back

Shave 'em down to standard barrel shape and they kick arse.

Are they really that much softer than most DH bushings duro wise, or do they just feel softer? I run blue khiro barrels all around with a red barrel on bottom in back on my Crails and Demonseed, and they're softer than JimZ I believe.
