Dually valve extentions
Anyone use/install these? I've seen solid ones and braided steel. Seems like a good idea.
From the factory, the valve stems on the duals are lined up with one another, which looks like it's gonna make things cramped to fill/ check pressure. Anyone find this? Is it worth getting the outer's rotated so the valves are 180 to each other?
Thanks guys!

Look into Cats eye or Crossfire. Depending on who you talk to some love them and some hate them.
Me, I just use an extension when I want to air down/up while going out on the beach, I don't leave them on. I got a good dually air pressure reader that I use for the inside tire, I think it was around $20.
I also did my tires 180 as it makes it easier. Make sure to get metal valve stems.

Thanks guys.
They do seem to be a 'gold or garbage' type item. Hard to tell if it's a case of installed correctly vs incorrectly.
I don't beach camp, so won't be airing down. And the new chuck/gauge works easy-peazy, so I think I'm good.
As for rotating 180; I had read many do that. But the wheels on the 2021 F350 are five hole, so I think they'll only line up at one orientation.

I have read that the steel belts in the 19.5" F450 tires cause problems for TPMS so Ford disabled this functionality in computer. At least in 2023 F450, this is easy to circumvent. THESE GUYS seem to have activated onboard TPMS.

I switched to using crossfires on mine a few years back, does a good job and you can tell when your tire is inflated correctly by the easy to read gauge on the outside.
Allows me to air Up/Down from the outside tire.
