What about truck profile height?
Truck profile is the distance between the bottom of the skate deck and the hanger.  In general, a mid-sized truck works well for most skateboarders, but high or low trucks may be preferred under these circumstances:

Low: Provides extra stability for flip tricks. Designed for small wheels (50-54mm)and are the most common truck used today. You can ride a little bigger wheel with low trucks, just make sure you get 1/8″ risers.  Also, low trucks give better stability for ramp riding and grinding

Standard: Good all around profile for street or park. If the truck does not indicate hi or low, then it is a standard.

High: Great for cruising and carving. Designed for large wheels (56mm+).
