The first thing you need to look at is the bushings. They are the rubber part that flexes when you are turning. You can remove these and replace them to customize your skateboard. Harder rubber is more stable and stiffer when you turn. Softer bushings are looser and let you turn faster. Medium bushings are the default bushings on most trucks and are usually the best.

For skateboard trucks, the dimensions are the most critical item to consider. The first dimension is the truck height. Low skateboard trucks are more stable and allow you to do quick flip tricks better. High trucks allow you to use larger wheels which go faster and are better for park and half pipe skating. Medium sized trucks are good for both street, park, and half pipe skating.

The last dimension for skateboard trucks is the axle length. There really isn’t anything special you need to worry about here. You just want to make sure your trucks don’t hang out past your deck, you want your trucks to either be the length of your deck or just a little smaller.
