Is it okay to remove bottom washer on hard bushings?

I just got the minilogos 100a hard bushings or my new venture trucks. Im forced to remove the bottom washer to be able to get the nut just about flush. With both washers I cant get it on flush without way over tightening it.

Is this fine? or will they blow out way sooner due to not having a bottom washer

Foot position tail/nose

Iv been watching some skaters and noticed the big difference on where they place their feet. Dylan jaeb seems to mostly pop from the pocket while others pop on the edge of tail/nose... I get the geometry of it all, more in the pocket equals faster pop but less height and further out requires more force but potential for higher pop.

It's confusing me regarding where to pop, any ideas?

We all road 7'5s and 7'75s in our teens and never thought about sizes back then and it all worked out. I'm 6'5 225lbs with 13'5 shoe size and long ass legs. Just got back a few months ago, bought a 8.25 globe complete to ease into it again.

I notice I'm having trouble staying below the bolts pushing around and the other day jumping down a box I spraind my foot due to having a short wheelbase, so iv decided to size up.

The thing is I like technical skating and I'm afraid a bigger board will make that hard. Right now I'm eyeing a impact board for longevity at 8.75 with 14.75 wheelbase and some thunders to increase that wheelbase closer to 15.

How much harder do you guys think going to 8.75 and 15ish wheelbase from 8.25 with 14.25 wheelbase will it be for me to flip this surfboard around?
