Default quick insert bushing question

Are the bottom and top parts of Khiro aluminum insert bushings identical?

because I just bought a Blue Pair and White pair hoping to put blues on bottom and whites on top... but if the top and bottom parts are not identical for the insert bushings then I guess I would have to buy 1 more pair of each... thank you for all the help on these forums

No, they are not identical. The bottom bushing is taller (mimicing the height of a standard barrell bushing). Use this bushing for the bottom and the thinner insert for the top.

Sounds like he's wonderingif he can use two bottoms instead of a bottom and a top.
Sure, why not?

Hmmm. Could be, TM.

The only limitation with using two bottoms for a single truck would be the kingpin length.

He wants to use the blues (harder) on bottom and whites on top.
