Valve stem extenders for inner wheels (DRW)
Can anyone recommend a good product for a dually inner wheel valve stem extender? What are the downsides of using any of these, if any? Thanks!

Thank you all - I see most experiences are negative with the extenders. I did get a pair from Amazon and they did not fit well. One of them got ruined by the local Chevy dealer so they tried to make good on it by buying me a replacement (steel mesh flexible ones) but they could not even install those - leaked before even leaving the shop. I guess I am going to talk to the local tire shop about longer valve stems, as someone mentioned. The problem is - I live in a rural area and there are not that many tire shops - the ones that there are - I don't trust them much.
Sounds to me like you have missed the main point of most replies. Get the right chuck and gauge. Then the factory valve stems work as designed.
The problem is - I have a portable compressor (the kind that connects to tow vehicle battery) - and that one does not really accept different chucks etc. Also, how is a long chuck going to help me if I have to air my tires at a gas station while traveling? Unless I am not understanding something here...(there might be a language barrier, I live in the States but am not American by birth so not sure if I understand what a "chuck" is). Thanks.
