I pretty much destroyed my last set of bones bushings because i cranked the king pin nut down tight as fuck. This time around im going a little looser and it seems to be better.
Also, does anybody tighten down the rear truck tighter than the forward truck? I heard some pros do this and i like it so far.

From my experience bones bushings are good for about 3 weeks. In those first three weeks they feel amazing and there is absolutely no break in period. However, after those three weeks are up they get busted to shit. If you are okay with replacing bushings every 3 weeks then definitely go with bones. If not I would look elsewhere.

Downhillers often ride less turny rear trucks with harder bushings bc it helps with stability at speed. The only problem is that it feels weird as FUCK riding fakie or switch.
Ik it says longboarding but this applies to any truck. If you feel like your trucks are too turny then get harder/fatter bushings, don't crank down your kingpin nut and deform the bushing.
Imo you should run your trucks as loose as possible without being able to move the bushing with your fingers, any tighter and you're restricting yourself.
