    Default Lowering drop through boards?

    I've seen a few pics of people who have lowered their drop-through boards using nylon washers, and similar devices... I was wondering if anyone could tell me where/what size of washers to get, or if there is a better option for lowering a board of this nature. Thanks

    You can use any washer that fits around your hardware without rattling, just bring a bolt to the hardware store and stock up.
    This is the simplest way to play with angles and lower your drop-through set-up.
    if your too lazy to go to the nearest hardware store you can use speed-rings from your trucks but they rattle and flop, then get compressed.

    You can get a Khiro angled Rail riser kit, like what we use on slalom set-ups, that would be much more precise than fooling around with washers.

    wait, he's just asking about lowering, not wedging, right?
    if this is actually the case, mate:
    just get a (some) 1/8" shockpad(s) and trim it (them) to fit at whatever height
    you want.

    or am i totally missing the point of this thread?

    g'luck.

    AJ is right on the money with this, you can pretty much use anything that will be solidly (is that even a word) in between your deck and bolts.
