I am looking to add stainless wheel simulators to my truck as I am told they look much better than stock, are cheaper than aluminum wheels, and look great a long time.


I also need to get some valve extenders as I change pressure frequently. I run about 40 in the rears when unloaded and 60-65 front. I run them up when towing. I run them all down very low when I go on the beach to surf fish.


Can anyone suggest a setup for these parts that will not kill the checkbook?


Thanks, Zeke

On my last dually I had Pacific Dually stainless covers for ten years and they held up very well. And I had stainless braided hose valve extensions, Steel Airmasters at www.awdirect.com (http://www.awdirect.com) I think they have the same ones. Also if you put extensions on make sure you put steel valve stems in as the centrifucal force of the extensions will pull the rubber valve stems a little and cause a leak. I know been there done that. The extensions can get mounted to the center cap of the cover, just a couple of rivets.
