Dually tire valve extenders that make it easy

I'm beating my head against the wall trying to set up my f-350 so I can easily reach the tire valves for inflate/deflate.

I have old knees and can't be crawling around trying to get at the tire valves.

Does anybody have a good set up? I don't mind modifying the plastic hubs, whatever it takes.

I am running the aluminum 17" wheels that are stock on the 2013 Lariat.

Any help is appreciated.

Frustrating but I cannot reach any tire man links. Is it a tire store chain?

I contacted the Crossfire folks and am waiting for a certain contact there to return Monday so we can talk about whether it can be aired down or not.

If anyone can post a picture of their easy to use set up I sure would like to see it.

Many thanks again,
Joe

For some unknown reason the links are dead ends for me so I can't access any information.

The other suggested link went to a site with equipment for steels wheels only and I have aluminum wheels.

Thanks for your responses but I am still searching.
Any more suggestions?

many thanks,
Joe

I don't believe a crossfire system will let you deflate your tires.
They have a check valve to prevent accidental deflation.
