The board setup is fine.
There is really only one thing you have to know about hardware. It has to go through the deck, truck and any risers or shock pads and still have enough of the bolt sticking out to securely attach the nut. Most people go with generic hardware. It costs less and does the same thing. The hardware you got should work even with the addition of a 1/8″ riser or shock pad.
Using a riser or shock pad is lame. You won’t be getting wheel bite, so the use of a riser is not necessary. It lessens the chance of the board cracking. It sounds like you are a new skater, so it is up to you if you want to get shock pads.
Get a skate tool while you are at it. It has everything you need for the hareware on your board.
the board is good,id get a baker but that is a good choice too.
black magic is the best grip.
independents are my favorite trucks and there great i would definetly get those.
spitfire and bones wheels are the best and 52mm is the best for street skating so those are good but bones makes a wheel called bones "stf" and there specially designed for street skating.
bones reds are the best bearings!
hardware doesnt really matter what kind you get as long as you get the right size.
i would definetly suggets getting risers because if you dont itll cause ur board to get pressure cracks which will make it to where it wont last as long.
