    Get some purple sabres for bushings both front and rear. Hella carvy and fun.

    You will want the 2.75" Kingpin to replace the standard randal 2.5" one, otherwise you will have to overtighten those sabres. The kingpin is the bit that holds the hanger onto the axle and what you put the bushings on.

    And get some .400 (~10mm) spacers for an 8mm axle.
