""i know ur gonna laugh at me but... what exactly is "shimming" ive heard it thrown around so much that i cant see a clear meaning. is it just modifying a truck to fit better?""
It's when you put something in between the pivot cup/inside of the baseplate to raise the pivot cup out more so it fits certain hangers better like R2's or paris. (please correct me if i'm wrong..)
edit: Rode the voodoo on 50/35 with a force hanger on the 35plate all day at lookout+techy sidewalk paths. Felt so solid.

maybe, but mine haven't bent any more than my randals. a truck is a truck. as long as its in one piece i could care less if the axle is straight or not (unless its something i dropped $300 for but thats a different story).
