The Independent Mids come with a lower 52mm profile to give you quick and responsive pops for flip tricks and the inverted kingpin gives you more grind clearance for your kingpin. The truck can be tightened with either a 5.5mm Allen wrench or the classic 9/16 hex wrench.

Inverted Kingpin - An inverted kingpin means the threads are in the trucks, meaning that even after prolonged grinding, you will always be able to tighten or loosen your trucks.
Truck Features
No Hang-Up Yoke - An enhanced yoke around the cushion seat takes the kingpin out-of-play on grind tricks like feebles and smiths.
4140 Chromoly Steel Axles - Chromoly has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is more durable than traditional steel, making it the best option for performance skate trucks.
Grade 8 Kingpins - Manufactured to stand up to the hardest landings and the most brutal street abuse, Grade 8 Kingpins will keep you rolling for years.
Lifetime Guarantee - Covered under manufacturer lifetime guarantee against breakage defects in hanger/base materials or workmanship. This lifetime warranty DOES NOT cover broken trucks due to abuse or neglect, damage caused by any modification done outside the manufacturer's facility, or lost or worn out parts due to lack of hardware maintenance.

Sizing Reference
Note - Every skate truck brand represents their sizing a little differently, so it's easy to get confused. Take a look at this graphic and then reference the size chart.
I'm pretty happy with these now that I replaced the bushings. If you want to be able to ride your trucks more than medium loose you're going to need to order some different bushings. I went with the bones hard.
Probably just a bad batch, but, unfortunately, the kingpin doesn’t stay at the desired tightness/looseness after use. Kept having to re-tighten the kingpin every so often to keep it at the desired tension.
I wwng from thunder lights to the heaviest Indy made. So it definitely too getting used to, lol after I got my big boy legs on, I find the way you have to pop, makes trikes look better. They grind better than anything else. My thunders were awesome in the park, lol but don’t you dare hit red curbs. Indys, either one it just trucks through crap.
These are heavy trucks! Im used to a 144 and got the 149 which might be the problem but these def take some getting used to. They grind like a dream though
