i asked for 30degree but have to to measure and verify but i trust him…usually lol
wondering if i should use the rubber pad that comes with the trucks when mating it to the riser block or if i should just bolt it down metal to metal…taking feedback on that as well @mmaner or andy

The wheels will eat up the vibrations, so you don’t need the rubber risers for that. MTB trucks lean a lot harder, so they will protect the deck though.

Well it’s finally coming together… I went for a push ride down the street and it doesn’t carve very will… The deck has a lot of carve feel but that isn’t translating into actual turn response…
Think I’m gonna order some wedge risers to see if that solves the issue… =/
Big thanks to @bwahl602 fpr printing the spacers!

Looks like you need at least 10-20 more degrees for those trucks

Yeah I don’t see that being able to turn very well looks like it needs more of an angle

I asked my buddy who welded them for 25degree, but i didnt measure to confirm or not whether thats what i got, obviously it doesnt turn quick enough so we know where the issue lies…
on a side note even with drop through this think feels like a monster boards lol…so high haha
any recommendations on an affordable source for 15 degree riser?

An additional 15° wedge is going to add another inch to that ride height. It may be worth it to have a new one made at 35° for the front and leave the rear where it’s at for a split angle.
Or see if you can fit a couple of these topside between the plate and the deck to add ° without adding height

I had to revert back some high school basics lol…
Traced out some paper and throw some values in Google…
So looks about 12is degree on the acute side but 77ish on the long… So maybe thats were the confusion was as thats closer to the 25 is asked for… And if he was using rectangle tube (which he was) and angled up on the wrong side instead of angle down from the other. …
Where are the sources to get high angled risers?

My guess would be behind your local gas station.

For example here https://shop.3dservisas.eu/collections/fatboy/products/fatboy-35º-riser-adapter-for-trampa-mbs-longboard-trucks?variant=31089285922909
But it seems @Accrobrandon or his buddy have made their own ones?
What is the weight of this board?
Glad they worked well. Hopefully some more angle will get you fixed up
We did ours by ourselves.
About 20kg

So i went the “instant self gratification” route and added a 1/2" spacer to the front and back for testing… Def turning better but still not enough for the typical lean I’m accustomed to… I’m not sure if its my expectations are slightly off never having tried this type of truck… Or if possibly the medium blocks are still a lil too stiff for my weight, I’m 140lb, I don’t like super carvy boards as i like speed and stability so hmm for now…

Throw yellows on the front and keep the rear orange. Made a whole world of a difference to me at 150 lbs. If you grab a 4 pack, you could try yellow/yellow as well and just tighten the rear a bit more.
