I assume you have a proper dually inflation chuck, with dual heads, and likewise tire gauge? Without them, it is nearly impossible to do anything with duallies. The kind with the end chuck on the foot straight in line with the tube work better (at least on my rig) than the more common ones where it's angled somewhat.
Air through valve caps help a good bit, in that they act like very short extensions as well as being good valve caps (that you don't need to remove for general tire maintenance). Unlike bigger valve extensions, I've never heard of them causing problems or leaks.
Yes I bought an extended chuck with dual head and plumbed it to an air fill gun with gauge. Without it there is no way.
I have not decided on a final solution yet, either leave it as is (and stash the wheel liners in the garage), install TPMS so I can at least monitor remotely, or have longer stems permanently installed. Tires are only 3 years old so they won't be in for replacement any time soon. I suspect I can get an aftermarket TPMS setup for about the same as it would cost to have a local shop remove and install new stems.
I'll check out the flow through caps, for now I'm capless in the rear.
