I've ridden on a buddy's board where he actually added riser to make his drop through deck even lower WITH smokies, and it didn't have clearance issues, so I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you aren't running 50mm wheels

kahalani's are not split axle you kook, they're axles vary in thickness throughout the hangar, they are 8mm in the middle then go to 13mm going twords the end of the hangar then are lathed back down to 8mm. the axles are replaceable but Dan said its easier just to get a new hangar.

I'm pretty sure that JimZ axles only come in 200 and 174.

I think this thread has some of the best resources about Precision trucks. As a result, it is now a sticky. Keep up the good info!

The Smokies, due to their spherical bearing system, are unable to be flipped.

It seems to me like most of the data under "axle width" should really be "hanger width," or something like "effective hanger width" when you deal with the stepped axles of a JimZ truck. Axle width, I assume, should be tip-to-tip...?

And Kahalani's are flippable, but it doesn't do anything.
