I do have a quite strong suspicion that standing below axle causes wobbles to be more violent, and I am moving back to standing inline with the axle, just an fyi. I’ll definitely update my thread once I have the time to swap back to being inline.

Thank you I appreciate you letting me know, I have been keeping up to date on the forum with the latest deck height ideas and no front bushings.
Even though the gasket had another cm to tighten up I have had to use risers for clearance. One thing I am not 100% on is unlike dualities or airs etc my hangers pivot around a point higher up than the axles, I am not sure if I focus on the axles or where it rotates around.

I think you should focus on the point on the kingpin where the distance is shortest between the axis going through the axle and the axis going through the kingpin. Let me know if you need help visualizing what I am trying to say

As in the furthest inside part of the kingpin right?
I don’t think it’s worth too much effort to figure out it’s not going to change the plan of switching to 8” or CST C190 (edit got confused I mean the 190mm CSTs from Trampa) keeping the top of the deck below the kingpin (roughly inline with the axles/slightly above for clearance on 7”) and keeping an eye out for a cheap heavily used Deathwish.
I’ve also shortened the wheelbase to 93cm and made a standing platform extension for more leverage. It needed extra holes drilled in the stainless which was hard going with a hand drill and a blunt bit.

It’s the green dot on this picture that counts.
The blue line is perpendicular to the kingpin and perpendicular to the axle.
At 93 cm axle to axle you wouldn’t run enough truck angles to loose extra leverage there too, so probably it will feel relatively good.
If you swap to a mountainboard deck eventually you should aim to extend wheelbase just enough so that green dot is inline with the standing platform height.
