Vanpro skateboard riser pads 4 mm

Highlights

If you want a little more clearance and less road buzz, rubber riser pads address a different need than leaving the trucks mounted directly to the deck. These Vanpro pads are 4 mm (1/8) thick and made from natural rubber, with a six-hole layout. The listing says they’re intended to help prevent wheelbite and absorb vibration, that may appeal if tight turns or rough pavement are part of your usual ride.

The pack includes four pads. That gives you the pieces listed for a skateboard setup, though the fit still depends on your mounting pattern.

Best use cases

These are aimed at skateboard, longboard and cruiser owners looking to add clearance between the trucks and deck. For example, if your wheels come close to the deck when you lean into a turn, a riser is a straightforward way to add some space without changing wheels. The extra rubber may also take the edge off vibration on an uneven stretch of pavement, though the listing doesn’t quantify how much cushioning to expect.

The six-hole design is described as compatible with most skateboards, including longboards and mini boards. It's a good fit if your board uses a matching mounting pattern and you want a modest 4 mm lift. No te encajará si you need a particular riser height beyond that, or your board’s holes don’t line up with this pad. Keep in mind that adding a riser changes the distance between the deck and trucks, so check that your existing mounting hardware is suitable before installation.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before fitting them, line up the holes with your deck and trucks rather than assuming that a six-hole layout will match every board. Once installed, check that the trucks sit securely and the wheels have enough clearance through a turn. If you still get wheel contact, these pads may not provide enough lift for your setup, choosing a different riser height would make more sense than expecting a thin pad to solve every wheelbite issue.

Rubber is the practical point here: compared with a hard riser, this material is intended to absorb some vibration as well as add height. That could suit a board used on rough streets, but it won’t make uneven pavement smooth. Given its design, the pads are a simple setup adjustment, not a substitute for checking wheel and truck clearance on your own board.

Before You Decide

How thick are the pads? Each riser is listed as 4 mm (1/8) thick.

What are they made from? The product description specifies natural rubber and a hardness of 75±5°.

How many are included? The listed package contains four riser pads.

Is It Worth It?

These make sense if your board has a compatible six-hole pattern and you want a small increase in clearance with rubber between the deck and trucks. They’re also worth considering if reducing some road vibration matters alongside wheelbite prevention. The trade-off is limited choice: the listed thickness is 4 mm, and compatibility isn’t guaranteed for every board just because it has six holes. If you need a different lift or have an unusual mounting pattern, match those details first, if the fit and height suit your setup, this is a focused way to adjust it.
