Trailer TPMS - need larger valve stem help

I need larger (0.625" I think) valve stems for my Silverback 37BH to work with Ford's TPMS system. I see multiple options for valve stems, but nothing that is definitely compatible with the Ford TPMS sensors. Some have screws on the back, some have a post with a hole through it.

Did anyone mount the Ford trailer TPMS sensors on a 0.625" valve stem yet? If so, can you post the part # for them?

Thanks!

These work?
TR801 High Pressure Metal Valve stem with rubber snap in up to 100 psi

Correct diameter and metal shaft, so should hold the TPMS. Too bad they aren't longer.

Thanks for the input. My tires are load range G, so I need higher pressure stems. It's also not clear that the Ford TPMS is compatible with the mount on that style. Anyone out there who has done this swap yet?

TR416 - High Pressure Bolt-In Metal Valve Stem (0-130 PSI)

Did you have any trouble with these? I'm having a helluva time with them. The metal "disc" is the same size as the wheel. They flat out won't tighten. They pull through everytime and ruin the rubber. I can't trust them as they are currently. Waiting for a call back from Nichols.

Valve stems are suppose to be just l little past hand tight not tightened up hard. You may be over tightening them.
