Tire Valve stems

Getting new meats put on my 1997 f350 CC 4x4 srw with the size of Lt265/75/16 Range E's. I have the standard Ford aluminum rim. What size of valve stems are these? I want to get some HD ones and not have the tire shop stick the lite PSI rated stems in. What do you all recommend on size/type?

Thanks!

Size I don't know. I always get the metal medium duty truck stems. They hold up good on the farm with dirt, mud, brush and limbs hitting them.

Go metal for all your truck or off road needs. I actually broke a metal valve stem on my Bronco in July wheeling in CO. It was on an extreme rocky section of Iron Chest Jeep trail. The rocks were sliding around on each other and I guess a rock came down just so and snapped it off flush with the rim. It was fun changing that tire. When I heard the hiss I thought I had sliced the sidewall on a $200 MTR but was relieved to see that it was the valve stem.
