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.

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.
