Darn it! Good advice and thank you but...…..you are a few days late because I ordered the newest version Predator on 1 Jan. and it is installed on my truck.
The 22" shaft has the bottom of the coil just barely clearing the top of the roof. A 24" shaft would be perfect but it is not available. A few minutes ago I trimmed-off another 1/8" from the stinger and the VSWR is still 1.2:1 to 1.3:1. Considering the antenna is mounted on the front stake pocket (close to the cab) and not on the rear stake pocket, I'm not going to continue to trim. It is what it is.
