Great Shock Absorbers that Reduce Vibration, Although the Khiro Ones are Better!
I bought these rubber shock pads as direct replacements for my Sector 9 longboard's stock angled risers because these have identical measurements (14mm x 8mm) and inclined angles. Compared to the stock hard plastic angled risers, these rubber shock pads sit flush against the board and absorb ground vibrations much better than the hard plastics. However, the material weighs a lot heavier than any hard plastics or rubber shock pads I've tried, but makes no difference while riding. The 1.5-inch hardware bolts would fit on these best. I would still highly recommend them if you're looking for a comfortable cruiser, as these would make the board feel slightly smoother on your feet when going over bumpy roads and cracks. Keep in mind, hard risers make the ride more responsive when turning; while soft risers make the ride smoother over terrains.UPDATE - The durometer on these rubber shock pads are measured to be about 80A, as I compared them to both the "Khiro 80A Angled Wedge Shock Pads" and the "Khiro 60A Angled Wedge Shock Pads". After the comparison, I tossed away these Big Boy Wedge Risers and went with the "Khiro 60A Angled Wdge Shock Pads" instead. Khiro's 60A durometer risers weigh much less and are made with softer material, while provided the smoothest ride for my longboard. Way to go Khiro!

Reduced Vibrations on, Less Than Smooth, Road
I mostly use my longboard for local errands, and the pavement isn't exactly the smoothest. Prior to these, I had hard plastic pads. With those, my board would rattle a lot as I rode down the street. After installing these, rattling has gone down considerably, and it even seems I go further on my pushes (I am guessing due to the excessive vibrations not slowing me down). Currently my board still vibrates though, so I am going to get softer tires. This was definitely a huge improvement though.

Great for what I'm doing with them.
Perfect for what I'm using them for. I have them both small side inwards so that it makes my trucks act like they have a lower angle and I love it. Makes my 50 caliber trucks act just how I want with enough stability to bomb hills bUT also absorb a little shock and make some good leaning turns. If you have 50° trucks these make it alot easier to slide and pish to high speeds like I prefer to do.

Best Shock Absorber
This riser came directly as advertised. My first cruise with them on made the ride smoother than skating on ice with less shock over big bumps and cracks in the street and a significant height increase for and easier ride for someone with long legs in which I am 6'3. I would easily recommend this product to any skater.

The risers are perfect for what I wanted them to do
The risers are great exactly what I wanted.

Fantastic Four electric skateboards
I bought these for every single one of my DIY electric skateboard belts they cut down on vibrations more than you'll ever know

... used these to replace the hard risers on a super old board I have (90's)
I used these to replace the hard risers on a super old board I have (90's). I had tried new wheels and the ride was still super jerky, but with these added I do notice it's incrementally smoother. I like 'em.

They're spacers......
They're spacers..... Not really sure how you could screw that up. Just make sure you have extra long hardware.
