it will simply snap the antenna off the mount. :)

More than likely yes, I almost snapped it yesterday. Antenna's are cheap enough and I would like to replace the Firestick with a Firefly anyways :)

I have the 4' Firefly on a spring and its pretty flexible. Its actually taller than I would like.

Like this.. but not as hot.

^Nice!

Yesterday my antenna was flopping all over the place. The mount itself would flex almost as much as the spring.

Did the CB work though?

Yeah it worked fine. The reception sucked because it wasn't tuned, I had it tuned before the mount got crushed by thta tree. Keith has an SWR meter I am hoping to use once I get the new mount finished and installed.

In other news I just ordered one of the last NEW sets of 2" Downey leaf springs in exsistance! Should be here next week sometime. He only has one set left. My leafs are shot and the AAL makes them stiff. I will order a U-bolt flip kit soon enough and relocate the shocks. You can see in this pic just how poorly the rear flex is currently. Got them for $256 shipped.

Have not put the MC sticker on yet.

Damn.. I was going to check if I had any spares of those for you Rob. FAIL on my part. Did you get one?

I did, but I really need 2 so no worries man. I can't put one on just one side of the truck, it has to be symmetrical. Do they come in different sizes? The one I got from Brian is HUGE.
