Don, thanks for pointing this out! My first post on the "Dually" stems that I X-2 'ed was before i looked at the ad!
What a rip!
I meant just the long metal stems that the truck tire dealers have in stock! They can be bent to fit many applications!
I also have used the "Crossfires" and the "Cats eyes" on my semi truck and trailer, that hook the dual's together, and give you a 1 point air up location, also makes it very easy to do a visual air pressure check! But i took those off too, because they all developed leaks over time! Rail!
