Fobo on F3T air shock clearance

Has anyone tried a Fobo on the Schrader valve for the air shock that is under the seat? I have a ‘19 F3T
I am wondering if there is enough clearance to accept the extra height.

Thank you

I am ready to order 2 sets of 2.
I went out to look at the valve stems to see how they will fit and I noticed that they are really short. I'm not sure how i am going to get the Fobo to screw on without interfering with the wheel. The stem looks recessed. I didn't look at the rear so I'm not sure what the deal is there.
Did you have to have new valve stems installed?

Thanks again,

Front valve stems are very short and I installed 3/4" valve extensions which solved the problem and worked great with no effect on tire balance. Rear tire was fine as is with no extension.

One set of four would get you a single sensor readout and save some bucks for gas.

I installed my Fobo today. Have not ridden with them yet, but got them set up with the app.
I used the configuration in the app that is reverse trike + air shock.
I think I am going to like these.

Thanks all for the help, I appreciate it.

Today I installed these on my F3T using R.L as the shock bag and R.R for the rear tire. I have not ridden on the road with them but I do know they read 2-3 pounds low for each schrader. All sensors cleared under the seat and on the rear wheel and I had already added ½" extenders on the front rims. Thanks for the great Idea!!
