Get black whips. I'm guessing you're getting fire sticks?

 

[iEnding]

Yeah I am. Should I go with 1 whip on each side?

 

[bluex]

Yeah I am. Should I go with 2 whips on each side?

Yes.....

I have a cophased Firestik set up and love it. Cheapest I found online was on FTL Distributing:

http://www.ftldist.com/firestik-cb-antenna-kit-dual.html If you get a 4' set up be wary that your clearance just sucks then. I'm not sure of your tire size but my truck won't fit in most 10' garage bay doors.

 

[iEnding]

How tall should I go with em?
And where can I order 2 of them and the brackets that you can drill onto your toolbox?

I can measure mine tomorrow but you should be ok with 4' mounted on the box unless you have a ton of lift. With my 4" lift an 305's I still clear in drive through marked 9'. Before the lift/tires they were only at 8.5 or so.

Fire sticks are pretty flexible to so even if they do hit something it shouldn't hurt them. Go 4' you'll be fine....

 

[iEnding]

Well that sounds good. I was going to do 4' at first but figured I'd ask. I was only going to do one behind the driver's side but would 2 look better?

Gonna look good, go black for the antenna. Looked at the pics of your truck again and the NBS rims really grew on me. Normally I don't like anything other than stock rims on a GMT-400 (except PYOs on 3/4 tons...), but they really suit the truck. Tow mirrors are gonna look sick. She has major, epic potential.

Yes do two of them, if you do one I'd put it on the passenger side though

Mine are 107" or just under 9' like I thought. The bottom of the antenna is 3" from the bed rail. Mine are mounted to my back rack mount an not a tool box but they should wind up in about the same spot. Worse case if your worried about it put some springs on them, but get the heavy duty ones if you do. I had some mediums an they were not a strong enough for the interstate.

Here's how mine are mounted
