    The antenna mounts on a 587 are near the top of the truck on both sides. Saw a 587 with 3 foot Firestiks that reached a height just below the stack. The stack is exactly 13 feet high. So I guess a 4 foot might hit every overpass and turn it into a 3 foot anyway? :)

    Do you think a 3 foot Firestik would work good in this situation?

    its a petercar for all that extra money I thought they cam with a connex and 2 predator 10k stock. lol But really I would just roll up to a TA or someplace with a ladder and then take one off measure it and go from there. I do know of some people that run wilson 2000 on a 387.
