What the ####. I have tried every double barrel combo in here, and it still feels looser than the stock bear bushings. I have ####### purple bottom black top on here, and It feels loose.

Well I wanted loose trucks, I would tune them to be loose. Basically, I fail at bushing setups.

Try double purples in the back and double blacks in the front. If that feels lose to you, You may need to recalibrate your scale.
