Which dually valve stem extender?

Going for a new set of tires in a few days. I went to check the current tire pressure and I could not get to the inside tire stems on the dually. Tire store said they didn't have any, they would be installing regular steel stems. I see lots of them on Amazon ( so I can get them here in a couple days ), but no clue what works best, on a budget. There are lots of them using a braided steel hose. Some are all metal, but curved to certain degree's ( no idea which degree to buy ).

I liked the type that airs both tires at the same time, but those are $56 per side.
  • My two cents... don't go CHEAP on tire stems!! Blowouts can be DEADLY, not only for you and your family but others on the road as well...Dennis
  • I put the long stems on my inside duals at the last tire change and have no regrets. When I put new tires on the fronts I'll also use whatever is needed to get them out where no extensions are needed or desired.

    I currently have short extensions on the fronts that seemed to work loose at times. I used some teflon pipe dope on them and cured that.
