DuallyTire Pressure Gauge hookup

Does anyone know if a company makes an stem extension or air fill that makes it easier to fill and check tire pressure on a dually? Checking tire pressure sucks on the dual rear wheels using my stock stems.

I got mine from Camping World... makes life easy... ;D Be sure and get steel valve stems put in prior to install! The old ones could come out from the weight of the braided lines.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

TPilaske, just out of curiosity. Don't these extensions throw the wheel balance out of whack? Do you have to compensate somehow?

Re:DuallyTire Pressure Gauge hookup

I had the braided steel extensions on my motorhome. Lost one tire completely due to them. Had some problems with them previous to that - - should have learned my lesson before it cost me a $320 tire. <br><br>I find the offset guage and filler tip quite easy to use. I carry a small 110v compressor in the RV for filling tires. It is almost impossible to find the offset filler tip while on the road unless you stop in a tire store. My friend made up an adapter of an offset filler that will work with a normal single tip. Then he can fill at any station that will reach 100# pressure.
