Atlas updated their trucks some time ago because of criticisms as mentioned by John

Glad to hear they changed the design! Thanks Jason

In my opinion, the best two rail Bettendorf Trucks are by Intermountain. They have the right dimensions everywhere, their brakes shoes line up with the wheel treads, they have a nice semblance of brake rigging, and they have molded plastic springs that have the prototypical coil thickness. They are equalized, so they track very well. With Intermountain steel wheelsets they roll easier than any truck I have ever tested, be it brass, diecast, or plastic. One push and I can get a truck to do a lap and a half of my 31' x 21' layout.

They are my go-to truck for any 2 rail conversion
