What is the brand to go for when you are looking at buying precision trucks?
(I want to use these trucks for DH racing.)

I know everyone goes hand down for the Kahalani trucks.
But what about the Area's?

I'm not an expert on trucks, but I do know some brands, such as: Aera, Munkae, SurfRodz and I think Bears.

That's all I know. 

lets not forget GOG and Radikal and brands like that

Do some research...there loads of em out there these days. someone on here telling you this brand or that brand are good wont mean shit. But i do love my kahas :-P next in line would be a set of ronins or gog trucks if any

These are all the ones that i can think of off the top of my head
Aera
kahalani
buzzed
gang or germany
kooky 
radikal
pretty noise lab (PNL)
ronin
munkae
rey
magun
chocolate
omen
bear

GOGS are pretty sick.

i would go with 175mm 49* munkaes or 184mm kahas or 4040 174mm ronins 

that is such a broad question no can say that there is one that is best. What is your style of riding. Ronnins have killer lean. area are one of the most versatile trucks out. magnuns are meta expensive and are mega stable so are kahalani. buzzed are also all rounders and at a very good price. it depends on budget and what is ur riding style.

My list would go,

No. 1: Aera

No. 2: Kaha

No. 3: Munkae

No. 4: Ronin

 

Those are the known and proven brands, but hey, people race on Paris trucks...

 

All precision trucks on the market, except SurfRods, are made for downhill.  Research, try some out, look on silverfish.

skittles i just want to make comment on the surfrods thing, while they are designed to be a good for everything truck they do go very well for downhill when set up right, I have taken mine 80kph+ on my buttboard and my evo and they felt great.

I'm sure they do, but they were not designed to go fast, they were made for a ultra smooth feel for freeride. All the others were designed to go as fast as possible, that's the only difference.

200 surfrodz with 45 front and 35 back, with shimmed riptide chubby/barrel?
