I know what you mean. I use 7 TireMinder sensors on my 07.5 dually Dodge Ram, including the spare. I thought about valve extenders at first, but the bad thing I read about that is if these sensors are screwed on the end of them, the whole extension gets pressurized and that increases their susceptibility to air loss. Plus, they’d need to be pure metal and that can also throw off balance. So at 6’ my hand can just get in there to r/r, and I have 1” rubber valve stems. I have bought metal ones to replace them on the next tire change, due next year by spring. I read where good sized rocks can enter past the dually tire gap and get thrown about and damage the inner rubber valve stem to failure.
