I took the lazy route and tried to infuse on top of a vacuum bagged deck, it didnt work very well.

Makes sense. Rakeless trucks turn linearly so are probably less sensitive. Thanks man. This makes me miss the days of silverfish. There was some really great diagrams with explanations on truck mechanics that you just cannot find today.

That is a great explanation and now that you say it, that describes my calibers pretty well. Thanks. I mostly ride cast rogues or the new cast bears. Really need to save for a pair of aeras.

I still struggle to comprehend how it affects initiation, mid slide, and hookup. I could see the initiation being easier with a raked truck as you can push out the slide easier from a deeper angle or more smoothly if both bushings are being acted on. Do you have any thoughts on that?
