Without a doubt, they are incredibly handy to have! Well worth the investment!

That's what I did when I had my duelly's put on... stopped at a local truck tire place .. they did it in a few minutes/

if you got duallyvalve stems as you indicate they are not add on extensions
they are complete stems so that each tire needs to be removed. Just had mine done and they are nice people to do business with.

I can't recommend anyone to do the job but, it's simple. I suspect that for your rig even a place like Discount Tire could do it. It's just a matter of jacking the wheels off the ground and pulling that outer wheel off. I did my own a couple of years ago and it didn't take very long. I jacked the axle one side at a time, pulled the chrome covers, pulled the outer wheel, screwed the extensions on and put it all back together. I did have to drill the center cover and rivet on two brackets for each side. I used the steel braid extensions. Make sure that the installer confirms that the valves are snug. I had one loose and, but for the steel cap it would have been a real problem. I just snugged it down and everything has been fine since. The hardest part is the jacking the motorhome. I always hate jacking up that much weight. I have a air controlled jack so I can slide it under the motorhome and jack it up without being under it in any way. Once it's up I slide a heavy jack stand under there.

Anyway, if you take it to a tire store that normally does cars and light trucks be darn sure they don't cross thread your lug nuts. They did that to me on one wheel and it became a problem. When I need repairs I try to find a heavy truck repair place. They always do the job right.
