Which valve extenders to install: Freedom Elite 26HE?

[thor1958]

I need to install valve extensions so I can put air into the rear tires on my 2019 Freedom Elite 26HE. Want to order something from Amazon so I can get them quickly, but don't have a clue about what specific type I need.

Also, what is recommended inflation pressure? Vague recollection of 55 PSI, would appreciate additional opinions.

Some here will say to not buy them.
I have them on plenty of vehicles.
No preference as to brand.
It's just about the oldest inflatable tire technology and there's no gimmick specific to one or the other.
High quality material like stainless steel, a bit of silicone grease, and that's all I look for in an extension.

Was hoping for some specific advice about length, angle etc needed....i.e. for someone with very limited mechanical ability, other than putting air into a valve stem on a car vehicle. Trying to avoid paying $60 at the dealership just to have pressure adjusted.

The absolute best way to get the best for your wheels is:
Go to that dealer and tell him you want THEIR favorite ones installed on your vehicle.
They deal with 100 different angles and setups and have the knowledge of which of the 100 best serves THEM.
The same system will best serve you.

One trip, one money,... Done.

I don't have your chassis but hey, duallys is duallys, right?

This is what I have and it has served me well so far with no problems and with TPMS sensors installed as well:

I put the same ones that Ed (16ACE27) put on his motor home. They work great.

I’m one of the ones you got warned about....I’ve had bad experience with extensions. I put actual dually valves on my coaches. These replace the current tire valves with long rigid ones accessible from the outside. Looks like two valves on the outside wheel. Costs about $110 but you have to have a tire place remove the tire to install. Another $100 or so. But, IMHO, it’s totally worth it.

I agree with Pete'sMH. Don't use extensions. Get custom made long rigid valve stems. It's worth the cost in the long run.

Have you looked at yours. Mine came with them installed.

My Hurricane did also. Much like the ones shown a few posts above. Agree with duckface, have a tire shop do it for you unless you are used to removing truck tires.
