Steve,
I really like Indy's as a front truck, tweaked a bit (longer kingpin; 1/4" to 1/2" longer, to accept full size trimmed yellow Stimulators), and the 8mm axles which Barret does.
I'm not sure if Barret puts in a longer kingpin on his trucks. But you should consider it either way. And get youreself some yellow Stimulators and trim them down to 1" o.d. keeping the full height, or either some of the soft Radikals for your front truck (Radikal bushings need to be trimmed/sanded/filed/grinded down to 1" o.d. too).
Soft high rebound urethane is the way to go for a front truck. It make them come alive. And Indy's rock fix up this way is my feeling.
Good luck.
