Baseplate Style
Forged - Forged baseplates are compression molded making them lighter, stronger, and more impact resistant compared to cast or poured-mold baseplates. Forging also eliminates the most common manufacturing defects and imperfections.
Axle/Kingpin Style
Hollow Kingpin - Lightening the load, hollow kingpins reduce weight for lighter feeling trucks, while still maintaining strength in this critical area.

Made in the USA - Made in San Francisco, California

Super smooth grinds

Thunder Lights Skateboard Trucks
Grinds so smooth that I slipped out of a k grind and dislocated my elbow lol. 5/5 would recommend. Use with caution though haha.
They stick sometimes but other than that I actually like them better than ccp trucks. Feels like I get higher with less effort. Either way my dollars will never go to the china communist party for trucks again.
These 151s are great light and turn great I’m very happy with I’m a tinder fan I do always add bones bushing but they are a great combo . I went from 148 up to the 151s and the trucks give more stability on crooked grinds and ledges

Yes it will work however your trucks will be slightly wider than the width of your board.

What wheel size you recommend ?

Wheel size would be personal preference but most people stick around 53-55mm wheels. If you go any large we would recommend a riser pad

Asked by Sands on 2/25/2017
It says "non-compatible risers" and under it says "girl" as one. Does this mean these trucks will not fit a "Girl" deck?

This just means that risers from those companies will not be compatible with those trucks. The trucks will work on a Girl deck, just not Girl risers.

I'm a long term Thunder lover, I'm after the lightest weight, low trucks you make for my 8 inch deck.

Then your best bet is the Hollow Lights in the 145(lo)

These trucks are meant for a skateboard but can work with a drop through longboard if you would like.
