Independent Risers 2 Pack | 1/4

Genuine Indy 1/4" risers for bigger wheels and less wheel bite.

Independent Genuine Parts 1/4" Risers add clearance between your trucks and deck. They're for skaters running bigger wheels, looser trucks or both, who want to stop wheel bite.

Indy makes them from glass-filled TPU, a tough, long-lasting material, to the same standard as its trucks. A 1/4" lift gives roughly 55 to 60mm wheels room to clear, and the riser protects your deck from the baseplate.

About Independent

Independent Truck Company was founded in 1978 by Richard Novak and Jay Shuirman, the pair behind Santa Cruz Skateboards, together with Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson, whose San Francisco company Ermico Enterprises manufactured the trucks. The first Indys came out that year, and the brand is still based in Santa Cruz, California.

Today Independent is the truck most skaters picture when they think of a skateboard truck. It is known for a stable, predictable turn, a hanger that grinds smooth and a lifetime guarantee under the motto Built to Grind. From the classic Stage 11 to the lower Mid and the featherweight Forged Titanium, there is an Indy for street, park, bowl and old-school shapes, and they all feel familiar the moment you step on.

FAQs

Do I need 1/4" risers?
If you run wheels around 55 to 60mm, or keep your trucks loose, yes. Most street wheels under 54mm don't need a riser, and 60mm plus cruiser wheels may want more lift.

What length bolts do I need?
With 1/4" risers, run 1.25" to 1.5" bolts. As a general guide, without risers 7/8" or 1" suits most decks; with 1/8" risers go 1" to 1.25"; with 1/4" risers 1.25" to 1.5"; and with 1/2" risers 1.5" to 2". Go to the longer end on thicker decks. You want the nut fully on the thread with a little bolt showing, but not so long it sticks up through the baseplate.

Allen vs Phillips bolts, which should I use?
Either works with these risers. Allen (hex) bolts are easier to tighten without stripping the head, while Phillips heads are the classic option and use the screwdriver on most skate tools. Pick whichever matches the tool you carry.

How many in a pack?
Two, one for each truck. One pack does a full board.

Will they fit Indy trucks?
Yes, they're Independent's own risers, made to suit Indy baseplates. They'll also suit most standard skateboard trucks.
