That's a shop collection, courtesy of A-drain ala cre8ivesk8
I wish it was my collection, though I do have a set of CNC hangers by kookyfish which are damn sick.

It would be really helpful if someone could list an approximation on how much all these cost just as a resource and maybe even links to what site carries them. I would do it, but I'm the one that doesn't know
JimZ's are huge baseplates, I would just try to put them on pogos or bear baseplates (smokeys or grizzlys). I don't know if that can be done....

which are lower: kahalanis or smokies? If I put precision trucks on my avenger, lower is better, since it is a topmount, but since the kahalanis are wider, they might be better because wheelbite would be less of an issue. Any firsthand experience? Recommendations?
Lower isn't always better.
Radikals turn like crazy, and the axles are not likely to back out.
Especially with a little LokTite on the threads.

how can I get the DH trucks? I might have wheelbite issues, and I am pretty good at controlling wobbles (ride Indys for 2 years, you will understand), so higher would be okay. Do you have them? Can I email Keith and get them? How much?

Yes, I have them on my flushcut Subsonic custom.
And on another board.

I have Smokeys on my Avenger, and I love em. As for ride height, they are the same, maybe a very very slight difference, but not something that would make a difference. I've got 76mm Superballs with no risers (with Smokeys) and the only way I get wheelbite is if I run the trucks as loose as possible and only when I'm standing still. So wheelbite really isn't much of an issue, but my friend (Jia) just got Kahas and they are awesome, talk to him if you want to ask some more about Kahas
IMO the Smokeys are the perfect width (190) cause that means it's slightly more stable than 180, but you don't lose too much turning radius compared to the Kahas at 200(?)
