Jace,
I was thinking about it yesterday and I wanted to make a new suggestion for your brothers deck. Josh Burt designed that deck as his downhill setup, and runs Randal DHs both front and rear on it. The DHs are set up with a 35 deg pivot angle. With the 20 degree outward wedge in the front of the board his trucks turn at a 55 deg angle. Those R2s turn at 50degs without any wedge, and I think that the additional 20 degrees sets the geometry to perpendicular for a natural turn. If he flipped the hanger on the front truck it would correct 5 degrees off the wedge. This should help him keep his front wheels on the ground. If that doesn't correct it enough it might be worth while to add a wedge riser to the front of that deck. Let me know how that works.

WORD! Thanks man, this is Jaces brother by the way, Jason pointed me over here and I remembered the website from your deck. The revolutionist = JP right? I'm going to try this tomorrow and see what happens. Hopefully we get to skate again soon... Cheers!
