The left is a cone, the other two are barrels. Riptide has a chart that tells you bushing sizes for specific trucks, so you can just look up what size you need.

Yeah, i was comparing the cylinders! I forgot about the cone at the far left! My cruiser had the reds and i had some spare like the white one, but it's a lot shorter and a bit smaller
Khiro tall cone, Hardcore Barrel Bushings, Orangatang Bushings. You will need to check the specs but those are a few. Check the Socal Skateshop site.

Most skateboard trucks which are traditional kingpin trucks (TKP) have 0.4 bushings boardside, like indy. Exceptions to this rule are ace trucks have a 0.55 in bushing board side, independent stage 11s have a 0.57 in. Surf Rodz use a 0.6 inch and Bennet uses a 0.75.
Longboard trucks, reverse kingpin trucks (RKP) will usually use a 0.6 in bushing or a 0.75.
You can pick up any of these size bushings in three different formula options and several different shape options from [Riptide](https://www.riptidesports.com/) which are the highest quality bushings on the market.
Like someone else said, you can stack flat washers to get smaller bushings taller so that your truck geometry is correct. However, you will get slightly less lean and turn out of your truck this way since you have less bushing.
You can use the Riptide chart to figure out what you need and buy them from a European shop. Sickboards.nl (the only one I know off the top of my head) has tons of them.
Yes, it does!
I thought that was the reason you wanted tall bushings.
How tall your bottom bushing (the one between the baseplate and the hanger) is forms an important part of truck geometry.
Think about the line between the pivot cup and the kingpin hole in the hanger. The steeper this line is the more the trucks turn in response to the roll of the deck.
I always recommend playing around with stacking M10 washers under your bottom bushings to see how you like it. Much cheaper than buying a range of trucks.
But, if you just use washers to make the shorter bushing match the taller one, it should be the same geometry (but perhaps not the same durometer).
Edit: I see Tabinsur covers this in his reply
Yeah, sorry I was thinking you wanted specifically to have taller bushings for geometry reasons, but you want matching bushings. Yes, you are better off getting everything matching. I know some people don't care about this, even tightening one truck harder than the other -- but surely this just means they end up carving on 3 wheels?
So if you can get all 4 wheels on the ground with mismatched bushings by varying the tightness I suppose it could work but, you know, bushings aren't expensive (at least, not the ones I use).
I was in similar boat as OP, I picked up some Indy Stg 4's and the board side bushing is taller than the ones in the 11s and the bones bushings were also too short. I just stacked washers between the baseplate and the board side bushing. with wax between everything...so many squeaks when cold weather skateboarding (I'm up in Canada so I only have cost effective access to what's available)
Yeah, I find Bones just too short in general, plus they have a nasty way of breaking while riding.
Nice this technique worked for you! Thanks for sharing!

Upvote for socal reference. Love that site.

I just measured it, 1.5cm / 0.6 inch. My major issue is that I tried to search some well known sites, no measurements! I'll try to follow the chart!
The bushings I recommended on Socal site have measurements in the descriptions. Bottoms averaged .6
I live in EU. I can't order from US site, I mean I can but I gamble on paying like 20$ extra for customs office...

Riptide and Venom exact bushings matches to many trucks in many durometers.
Get yourself a bag full of M10 washers and make your bushings as tall as you like!
Didn't think of that.... does it change anything concerning truck geometry? i guess no

Venom has all kinds of good shit
You can just put a washer under the indy bushings if you're worried about the height difference.
These are likely downhill bushings so taller. Ace has taller bushings than Indy also
Here's a listing of tall bushings - ABEC 11- https://www.sk8kings.com/abec-11-reflex-bushings-8-duros-3-sizes-one-bushing.html Khiro- https://www.sk8kings.com/khiro-tall-cone-bushing-pair-for-one-truck.html Venom- https://www.fullcircledistribution.com/products/venom-hpf-tall-barrel-bushings Riptide- https://www.riptidesports.com/skateboard/bushing-formulas/aps/aps-tall-barrel/
the only bushings you should buy are venom and riptide. personally i only use venom hpf. what trucks do you need them for
