Before:

After:

A dash more rake in the front, and some caps so I don't die.

Why don't you cut the bolts off?

Hahah, f'ing wire nuts. Yeah, those are going to save neither life nor nuts.

Nice slamming job though. Stance coming next?

This, this. You probably dont even need bolt cutters, a strong and long pair of Nines should do it.

Too bad you cant superheat those trucks and then pull down equally on each side: voila, stanced. Which would give you more ground clearance which I'd say you need.

Might do. I can get some mad camber too

This concept is coming along nicely and I am paying attention with much interest, but which engine are you going to use for it?

Maybe. It's as simple as heating and bending the trucks.

It looks like it's bottomed out anyway. Are the axle pieces sitting on the board?

Nope. Got a couple MM clearance between the trucks and deck and about 3 MM clearance underneith

You ever hear of 'jibbers'? Jibbin' and jabbin'? You're a jibber now, modifying your board like that.

Trim those bolts, dude. It'll look so much better.

You still could trim them a bit though.

Will do once I have it all dialed in.

I will eventually.

Ok. I do like your fix for now though.

Oh, lawdy. As someone who has converted several longboards to drop-throughs, I approve of this madness. That being said, consider mounting trucks to the nose and tail for legit stancing. I recommend Seismic Trucks for such lowering applications, as they work well at nearly any geometry. Originals also come with the highest level of my approval.
