5.3 Low Lites
Ref. T8552562426201
The 5.3 Low Lites are low profile skateboard trucks built for street and park riding. Mount them to your deck, pair them with your preferred wheels and bearings, and dial in your complete setup for practicing flatground tricks, ledges, and transition.
Description
Choosing the right trucks is essential when you assemble a complete skateboard or update your current setup. The 5.3 low profile design provides a lower center of gravity, which brings your deck closer to the ground for stable footing during pop, flick, and landing. This geometry makes them a direct choice for street skaters and park riders working on flip tricks, manual balance, and technical ledge lines.
Truck sizing directly influences how your board turns and balances underfoot. A 5.3 sizing typically aligns with skateboard decks measuring between 7.75 inches and 8.0 inches wide, keeping the wheels flush with the outer edge of your board. Because low trucks sit closer to the wood, pairing them with smaller street wheels helps prevent wheel bite when carving tight corners or landing off center.
Whether you are putting together your first custom board or fine-tuning your ride for the local skatepark, proper truck alignment and sizing keep your setup balanced and responsive under your feet.
