    for a front slalom truck a good place to start is to get white khiro's.I weight about 180 pounds and thats what i use.Ive noticed a lot of slalomers using the same or something close regardless of weight.So start soft and work your way up.Cant lend any advice on the bones because im unfamiliar with em.Another thing you will notice is the lack of kingpin space o n the trackers negating the use of tall bushings.My advice would be a khiro white barrell on bottom and either the same or a white short cone on top.

    Yellow Bones are too hard for the front and too soft for the back unfortunately. I used to ride blue Bones Hardcores up front on my Tracker and it was nice. Now I run a white Khiro barrel and green Reflex cone top. It's really soft and reboundy. Try out black and purple Khiros in the back.

    whites in the front for sure. In the rear you should like pete said start with black khiros and if its to stiff go to the yellows and to loose go to the purples.mix and match and find the magic.

    I personally didn't like them much. they are ok for learning, but I thought the back was hard to stabilize at higher speeds with the stock bushings. change em if you can afford to. For my trackers, I switched to a Khiro white barrel bottom and white cone top for the front. Khiro yellow barrel bottom and purple short cone for top back. When I say top I mean closest to the nut. I weigh 160.

    Note: Reflex barrels are too big for trackers, causing them to unseat.

    A belt sander will shorten the height quickly.
