    Why is there no short and tall cone? Having two tall cones makes no sense. Except for the standard pack on paris, they really dont fit paris or randal. You're either stuck with shimmed double barrels or a combination of venoms and something else.

    Makes no sense, double barrel Venoms fits in both Paris and Randals, so does double tall cones.

    Doesnt it change the truck though? Randal has a tall bushing on the bottom and Paris has a short bushing. I dont think randal will fit two tall bushing. Unless these are not as tall as a standard tall bushing which would make even less sense.

    Nope, Randals and Paris have the same height bottom bushing.

    Yes they do, I have used Randals with double barrel Venoms, no problemo.

    Wondering if the venom cone is shorter than a randal bottom cone.

    I'm running the randal bushings on my randals and while I'm digging them, I'm wanting to experiment with other cone bushings. It just doesnt seem like the venoms are going to fit as a top bushing. I know I can fit barrels on there no problem, just not sure I want double barrels.

    Its not like the top has a restricition in size... You could run a top bushing as tall as you wanted as long as it didnt cause your kingpin to scrape the ground...

    They will fit.

    Venoms (cone or barrel) are the same height as a Randal bottom cone (one nearest the baseplate).

    To run them on Randals, I recommend getting a 2.75" kingpin, it allows you set em up looser, I felt like I was cranking them down a bit too much on a 2.5" kingpin. However, they will fit on a 2.5" kingpin. I have tried it, on 2 seperate sets of Randals.

    Makes no sense. The old paris barrels were short like a khiro barrel or randal top.
    I think I'll stick with the randal bushings.
