RISER / SHOCK PADS

Riser pads aka shock pads can be used to heighten your trucks. For example, you'll notice that most cruisers have them, because they usually use wheels that are bigger. Higher trucks prevent wheel bites (wheel touches the deck and stops) when curving at fast turns. Riser pads are also useful to prevent the cracks along the deck aligned with the trucks, caused over time as the skateboard constantly takes impact. For this, Footprint's technology is especially effective. Other companies that you can shop riser pads from at Stay_K are Film and rellik.
