The Independent Stage 11 Forged Hollow Silver Standard Trucks are Indy's lightest take on the classic Stage 11. A forged aluminum baseplate plus a hollow Chromoly axle and kingpin make them about 10% lighter than standard Stage 11 trucks, while keeping the strength, grind feel, and turn that Independent is known for. Sold as a set of two trucks, enough for one complete skateboard.

Why Skaters Choose the Indy Forged Hollow
- About 10% lighter than standard Stage 11s: The forged baseplate and hollow hardware shave weight for quicker flip tricks and easier ollies and airs.
- Forged 6061 aluminum baseplate: Aircraft-grade forged aluminum lets Indy make the baseplate thinner while keeping it dense and strong.
- Hollow Chromoly axle and kingpin: High-quality hollow Chromoly steel saves weight without sacrificing durability.
- A356 T6 aluminum hanger: A lightweight alloy heat-treated to T6 for strength, durability, and a smooth grind feel.
- Slightly lower at 53.5mm: A touch lower than regular Stage 11 Standards for a stable, responsive feel, with clearance for wheels 54mm and under without risers.
- Super high rebound 90A cushions: Responsive bushings that return to center quickly for a lively turn.
- Built to Grind, Guaranteed for Life: Backed by Independent's lifetime guarantee.
- Set of two: Two matching trucks, everything you need for the front and back of one board.
Independent Truck Size Chart
Independent truck sizes (139, 144, and so on) refer to the hanger width in millimeters. For the best fit, choose the truck whose axle width is closest to your deck width.
| Indy Size | Hanger Width | Axle Width | Best Deck Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| 139 | 5.47" (139mm) | 8.0" | 7.75" – 8.25" |
| 144 | 5.67" (144mm) | 8.25" | 8.125" – 8.5" |
| 149 | 5.87" (149mm) | 8.5" | 8.375" – 8.75" |
| 159 | 6.26" (159mm) | 8.75" | 8.75" – 9.0" |
| 169 | 6.65" (169mm) | 9.125" | 9.0" – 9.5" |
Quick picks: 8.0" deck → 139. 8.25" deck → 144. 8.5" deck → 149. 8.75"–9.0" deck → 159. 9.0" and up → 169. Riding slightly narrower trucks than your deck can feel quicker for flip tricks, and slightly wider can feel more stable for transition. Within about 1/4" either way works well for most skaters.
Who Are These Trucks For?
The Forged Hollow is made for street and technical skaters who want the lightest possible Indy setup, skaters who like a slightly lower truck for flip tricks, and anyone upgrading from standard Stage 11s who wants to save weight without changing the feel they know.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these come as one truck or a pair?
They're sold as a set of two trucks, which is everything you need for one skateboard.
What's the difference between Forged Hollow and regular Hollow Indys?

What size Independent trucks do I need?
Match the truck's axle width to your deck width. An 8.0" deck pairs with 139s, 8.25" with 144s, 8.5" with 149s, 8.75"–9.0" with 159s, and 9.0" and wider with 169s.
What do the numbers on Independent trucks mean?

What wheel size works with Forged Hollow Indys?
At 53.5mm tall, they're designed for wheels 54mm and under without risers. For bigger wheels, add risers to help prevent wheel bite.
