    Mmm they're not, but okay maybe higher than the average truck. They then have the beefiest square hangers. I had them on a Hellcat, and a Knuckleduster, and I got hangerbite on both decks. It was easier to hangerbite the Hellcat because of the shape of the cutouts.

    so i guess there will be no hangerbite at all when DH.

    had the jimz's on a hellcat - same thing.
    I'd imagine that if you weigh hardly anything and you are using 35* plates, you probably would bite trying to stick any moderate corners.

    Jimz hangers are the tallest hanger made, Talon baseplates are the tallest baseplates made. Reverse kingpin that is.

    Please name a higher truck than JimZ--I've owned and ridden most trucks out there. The only trucks close are Talons.
    I'm not calling you a liar, but I had JimZ on a Hellcat for a while with really soft bushings---no hangerbite. Not even close. I got wheelbite before hangerbite. With 200mm or 174mm axles.

    i think most people need to quit arguing over gear and just ride their stuff. seeeeeeriously.

    anyway just tossed black JimZ bushings in my randal 50/50's. stoopid stable and still turns plenty. a great truck/bushing combo indeed!

    Personal responsibility for one's choices is dead and buried, even in something as simple as a plank with four wheels.

    My JimZ bushings don't seem to fit in any of my trucks. The bottom bushing (thick one) is too fat to actually touch the whole bushing seat, unless I reeeally crank em down. Is this how they're supposed to sit, not touching the whole seat?

    Reveal to me the clue of the JimZ!

    What are you running them on? They don't fit all bushing seats. You running Bears by chance?
