Are you sure you’re not getting wheel bite ? Even on 60mm you might need 1/8” ( or even 1/4” depending on your weight ) to raise up the trucks. Especially since you’re using a trick deck with no wheel reliefs.

But I would recommend getting the basics down on a "regular"' board first, THEN buy a carving front rotating truck surf skateboard.

Technically you could as you have brand new wheels, bearing and deck. But depending if you find a closeout priced last year model or a lightly used board on ebay or such, it might be worth getting the whole set up.
** remember the riser plates for the front Carver trucks are not like standard ones so you'll need to buy those also **
