The Independent Inverted Kingpin Baseplate Set is a performance upgrade kit designed to convert any standard Independent truck into a modern inverted kingpin system. This innovative setup enhances stability, lowers your center of gravity, and increases grind clearance—especially valuable for street skating applications.
The set includes two inverted baseplates and kingpins, allowing for a complete replacement of the front-side kingpin and baseplate assembly. The inverted kingpin design places the bolt head inside the hanger, reducing the chances of it snagging during grinds and extending the lifespan of both your kingpin and hanger.
Aside from improved durability, the inverted setup also enhances control: with a lower profile and centered geometry, you gain sharper and more responsive turns, particularly during high-speed or highly technical riding. These baseplates are compatible with most standard Independent hangers, so you can modernize your setup without replacing the entire truck.
Whether you're grinding ledges, cruising bowls, or hitting transitions, this set gives you a real performance edge. The design reduces wear, improves kingpin protection, and optimizes turning performance—all while maintaining the legendary feel of Independent Trucks.
If you're looking to take your Independent trucks to the next level, this upgrade kit is a smart and functional investment. With straightforward installation and proven street-tested performance, the Inverted Kingpin Baseplate Set truly lives up to its claim: Superior in the Streets.
