I don't understand what you're asking. Do you want dedicated sliding trucks, or dedicated DH trucks?

Are you looking to do technical sliding or stuff like the shitpins? If it's the latter, you'll be fine with Randals or Grizzlies.

I swear by my Randals when I'm doing DH. The grizzlies shouldn't be that much different.

you can get all your questions answered in one thread

theres really no reason to make like 6 threads for each of your questions
the search function helps too...

Apparently Venture trucks are the bomb for DH, wedged appropriately. Of course, you would have to run Bennett 4.3 in the back if you wanted to slide.
