Wheel Master Tire Valve Extenders for 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Dually

Question

Question:

I have a 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500HD dually, running the factory 17 inch tires and aluminum alloy outer rear wheels. The rear inner wheels are the OEM steel type. It looks like the Wheel Master 8001 kit is correct for my truck, but please verify that for me. Also, please advise whether I need the standard kit with the 90 degree bend outer extenders, or the kit with the 135 degree bend extenders. Thanks very much for your assistance!

For the dually setup you have on your 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500HD the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8001 that you referenced would work great. The 90 degree hoses will work great on the outer wheels and then the longer straight hoses will work great on the inner wheel. I attached a picture that shows how a customer of ours with a similar wheel setup installed the kit for you to check out as well.

I also attached a review video for this kit for you to check out as well.
