How are you all airing down? I have the ARB EZ Deflator but it will not feed on the stem. The fat portion of it is in the way with the way the wheel is made.

I had the same issue with my Fuel Mavericks wheels. The valve stem location sucks, so when choosing new wheels, I look at the design I want along with the valve stem location for accessibility. You will be limited to certain tools when Airing up/down.

I use the teraflex tire deflator. It’s been good but not as fast as removing the full valve stem.

Search "valve stem adapter hose" on your favorite search engine, maybe one of those short hose extensions will clear the wheel. Looks like there are lots of choices.

I use J.T. Brooks, they have a couple different models. But theres several/many brands that you screw on and walk away as some are designed to release pressure to a set ir desired level. I myself prefer this as I just cant squat that long in my knees without feeling it the few days.
They dont take up much real estate in the wheel or in your console.

Just screw on a tire pressure release on one valve stem and do the next and the next and the next. When you get back to the first one you can check the pressure.

Of course there are many other ways to spend your $$$ that will do this for you with less work. And there are also videos of people off roading in their Jeeps so you don't have to :bandit:

I ended up going with these. Amazon had the auto ones for what seemed like a decent price.

Ouch $100? I got a SpeedFlate for $170 airs down and then you air back up. Gauge is built into the system.
