Default How make the best longboard trucks for the money

If I'm going to spent my money on some new trucks for my sector9 47" bamboo pin tall I want to get the most for my money. The only thing that I know about trucks is that I had gullwings and they have been good but I want to try something new and I'm ask'n give me something to go on.

sorry about the title I'm not going to make the trucks it should be "who makes the best longboard trucks for the money"

what kind of riding discipline do you want to do? different disciplines benefit from different types of trucks?

Randals, bears, holeys. Gullwings are fine for what you're doing though.

well what type of gullwings? they make a few different style. i'm assuming they are the missions, so maybe check out some chargers. randals and paris are also a similar reverse kingpin style truck. that's what i would go with.

I say randal's, very good trucks for all around use. You can also buy different baseplates if you wish to use them for DH later on...

yeah i got randals for my new (to me) trylam. deff a difference over the gullwing alpines and i love it. maybe you should check out the pink randals and support breast cancer. i keep saying that in other threads, but it's a really good idea. plus rocking some pink trucks would be sick. i know i'm gettin myself a set.
