Do yourself a favor - add a Stubby antenna

BIGWHITE16 · Mar 10, 2017

So for $35 you can have a shipped 3" black antenna to your door. Replace the old 10ft tall antenna, and go with 'Stubby' antenna.

Gives truck a cleaner, less CB Radio look. LOL

Agree.

Happy I did mine.

BIGWHITE16 · Mar 10, 2017

Clean Truck!

MADDOG · Mar 10, 2017

Yup...did mine with the installation of a Craven Speed unit.

Took the old one off my chevy and moved it to my express the day I bought it in the dealers lot!

I love the look and the missing tower coming from my fender always in view. Downside is where I live reception is crap. Good thing 95% of the time Im on spotify.

Looks its a perfect 10, function is more like a 3.

I keep my stock antenna on as a gauge for low clearance parking garages.

Yea but by the time you get close enough for that to be your gauge... you may already be stuck inside a parking garage with 3-4 cars behind you on a busy street in downtown Indianapolis. Ask me how I know? lol What a trainwreck that was. After that I decided to just measure my truck up the Shark Fin antenna and steer clear of anything that comes within 2 inches of that number. It's worked out for me so far, plus my stubby antenna looks 1000x better than that hideous factory one did.

Johnnymac2k6 · Mar 10, 2017

I really only dislike my factory antenna like $4 worth... I don't dislike it $26 worth...
now you just have to decide on ricer blue, ricer red, or "doms charger" Black...

lol how bad can these be?

Is the reception really that much worse, as noted by another poster on this thread?

bchap05 · Mar 10, 2017

I'd like to do this but its hard to find one with decent reviews

Get the stubby antenna and then get a amplified antenna to hide in your dash somewhere to get better signal

I have the stubby and reception as absolutely horrible both AM/FM and that's in Chicago, not out in the country. Luckily for me I listen to my iPod or Sirius

The colors on those fade really quickly. I had blue on my chevy... only lasted a couple weeks before looking like crap...

Don't they sit lower than the top of the truck. Like eye height, if you can't see a roof that low you shouldn't be driving! lol Just messing with you.

What people are saying about you loosing decent reception on the radio is true, I changed mine and although I gained 75hp+ from reducing the drag my reception went to ****, hey but it looks way cool even though I only get 3 stations now! That and my catch can are good for 100hp + together!
