They were $11.00 each, not a $120.00.
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!

I had new extensions put on when I got new tires, they put the same thing on mine that they put on fire trucks, no issues. Before that had braided ones that leaked, then another kind that were no good. These were the answer.

I used braided extensions for past 7 years with zero air leakage. Bought these extensions this time as they seem built a bit better.
