Dually Valve Stems

What do you dually owners have for valve stems on the outers? I bought a set of the flexible extenders for the inners just haven't come up with a good solution for the outers yet.

Thanks,
Bob

I just use standard 1" metal stems ... And an Air Chuck like: Air Chuck, Dual Foot Angled Push Pull

I don't like long stems, the longer they are the easier they get broke!

-Enjoy

I have 1" rubber stems now and that same chuck and matching tire gauge but I can get either to work. I suppose a 2-3" metal stem might work.

That long of stem will get broke off if you ever get in the mud or snow ...

Use metal, not rubber... rubber flexes and makes it hard to get a good seal!

this is what i have:

Amazon.com: Pacific Dualies 18180 180 Degree Valve Stem Extension - Set of 2: Automotive

Amazon.com: Pacific Dualies 18000 7 Inch Braided Stainless Steel Valve Stem Extension System - Set of 2: Automotive

i just had to take a little bend out of the outer stainless extensions so they wouldn't rub.but that was pretty easy.

I got the standard 1" steel stems, and a two-way chuck like what Festus uses - never had issue with them, even when the chrome simulators were on...

Cool, I'll get a set of 1" metal stems installed and see how I make out. With metal I can add the 180 extensions if I need more.

Thanks all.
