The problem with extensions is they have a tendency to leak. Do yourself a favor and get some Dually Valve stems. Dually Valve stems are solid metal valve stems that replace your OEM ones and they extend out through the outer rim to make it easy to check/air up your inside dually.

I just paid $250 to have the TST system pressure sensors cut off of my valve stems because the seized on, but yet wouldn't hold a pressure reading when attached to air extenders. The Crossfire is all stainless steel so I feel this is a better choice and on the last couple of trips it only took a glance to see the balanced dual tire pressure. these seem really great.

I'll be doing a comprehensive write up of my dealings with TST with photos, the truck tire shop reciept for the dis mounting / mounting and replacement of the valve stems and the way I was left out in the cold to foot the bill on my own

They fit perfectly, bolt on so they do not flop around or require rivets/holes. They are firm when checking air pressure too. No troubles since installing them and they were no more expensive than the generic ones.

I bought the Dicor extensions from PPL but they were special order.

Thats what these are that my Tire dealer put on for me. Specifically this model
