Bushing and Truck Setup Help Offered

I am 210lbs (95kg) and I use my boards for transportation. I’m really hard on them and often carry heavy stuff, so frequently I’m 260lbs (118kg) with load. I’m building on a Powell Peralta OG Bug 01 Lime using Caliber2 50° and huge 110mm wheels. This board will be going 30mph regularly – and I keep the back trucks tighter so when the nose is off the ground it’s more stiff.

Historically my front trucks alway hit wheelbite sooner and need a tad more riser and/or deeper cutouts than my rear ones do. I can make the wheel well deeper up front, that’s no issue.

I’ve decided I’m going to try Riptide bushings and pivot cups. @RipTideSports Which ones would you advise to try?

I was thinking maybe

front boardside: KranK Magnum 93A / flat washer
front roadside: KranK Cone 90A / flat washer

rear boardside: KranK Magnum 96A / cupped washer
rear roadside: KranK Canon 96A / cupped washer

WFB 100A pivots front and rear

Does that sound reasonable? Any suggestions?
