Compatible Components

The Santa Cruz Screaming Big Mouth Full 8.0" complete is designed for 7.75" to 8.25" wide decks. For alternative trucks and wheels with similar performance, consider the following from Santa Cruz and Foundation:

Santa Cruz:

• Bullet 5.25 Trucks: Wider for enhanced stability on 8.0" to 8.25" decks, ideal for park skating.
• Slime Balls 54mm 95A Wheels: Slightly larger for smoother rolls, maintaining speed on street setups.

Foundation:

• Core 5.0 Trucks: Lightweight aluminum trucks for agile turns on 7.75" to 8.0" decks.
• Foundation 52mm 99A Wheels: Harder for faster slides, compatible with street and park skating.

General Guideline: For 7.75" to 8.25" decks like the Screaming Big Mouth, 5.0 to 5.25 trucks and 50-54mm wheels with 95A to 99A durometers are optimal. The Krux 8.0 trucks and 52mm 95A OJ wheels provide balanced performance, while wider trucks or harder wheels enhance stability or speed. Use 1/8" risers with wheels over 52mm to prevent wheelbite.

Wheel and Truck Compatibility

The Santa Cruz Screaming Big Mouth Full 8.0" complete pairs well with the following wheels and trucks for optimal performance:

• Powell Peralta SSF Snakes 66mm 75A: Soft and grippy for smoother cruising, requires 1/4" risers to prevent wheelbite on 8.0" decks.
• Orangatang In Heat 70mm 77A: Firmer for faster slides, requires 1/4" risers to prevent wheelbite on 8.0" decks.
• Independent 139 Stage 11 Trucks: Durable mid-profile trucks for versatile street and park skating, compatible with 7.75" to 8.25" decks.

General Guideline: Choose 5.0 to 5.25 trucks for stability on 8.0" decks. Pair with 50-70mm wheels (95A-99A for street, 75A-80A for cruising); use 1/8" to 1/4" risers with wheels over 52mm to avoid wheelbite. High-quality bearings (e.g., Bones Reds) boost roll speed for street and park skating. Avoid rough terrain, as softer wheels may wear on abrasive surfaces.
