randal DH hangers

i just got a new landyyacht urban assault and it came with randal DHs but i cant figure out how to configure the trucks so that they are better for downhill.

What you see is what you get.
Unfortunately the Urban Assualt is not an ideal downhill set up, its too short and wedged like this \ / .
you want it more like this : front \ \ back so maybe get started on building a huge wedge, also some harder, wider bushings and flat washers.

not to be cocky but i know that it is not ideal for downhill, if i wanted a downhill board i would have got one but i got the UA because i wanted a strong multirole that could serve as both a downhill board and a cruzing board. and what i meant was from what i hear you can change the hanger around on the truck so that it is good for both downhill or turning.

by the way it is absolutly bitchin for both.

All right, so I've got one too. They are awesome for kicking around and pretty stable down hill. But Randal DH hangers don't change the performance when you flip them- they're symmetrical. I replaced the kingpin with a longer 3" or 3.25" grade 8 bolt. I used Blue stims on the bottom, and tracker hourglass bottoms on the top, with another top bushing too. Just try using 3 bushings per truck. Maybe a barrel on the bottom, and a barrel and a conical on top. Have fun playing with bushings though. It's pretty fun. The stock bushings seem pretty good for just downhill. Nice and dead.
