I just ordered the 2” version for my truck.

I just ordered the 2” version for my truck.

I can't believe radio signal is not affected with these, but I won't complain if that's really the case! I really do like the look of that 2" best, but I don't want to lose any signal. Give us an update once you get yours on, if enough folks report no issues I'll have to get myself one of these.

Almost looks like a little RC car with that tall factory one.

I went with 4 inch antenna also works great and looks better.​

I have a lower garage door and the factory antennae hit the garage after I lifted the truck and changed tires. I now clears by about 3 inches with the craven stubby 4 inch antennae. I had to put one on my wife's SUV for the same reason.

@JJC do you have a link to the 2" you mentioned? Just want to make sure I get the right one. I think my son has mentioned the "Cravenspeed Stubby" before when he changed the antenna on his Focus, I'll go ahead and order it, he can switch them out for me when he's home for Christmas.

I switched out my factory antenna for a 4" CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna.* Reception seems unaffected but I'm also in the Kansas City area. I'll know for sure if reception was compromised next week when I travel for the holidays.

They also have a 2" version that @Anton4 installed, here's the thread: Replaced the antenna with shorter one


USA made.

Roughly half the length of the factory antenna.

Just wanted to share an update on this after traveling with it; there is certainly less range than the factory antenna even though most of the reviews would lead one to believe otherwise. The 4" version works completely fine here in Kansas City, but I was getting noticeably less stations and worse reception in certain areas as we traveled this past week compared to the same drive with the stock antenna. I'll still keep it on as I prefer the look and it works fine for 95% of my driving.

Thanks for the update. I wondered if there would be issues with reception.

i installed the 2"...I like the low look much better. No issues with signal so far, but I'm mostly on Pandora.
Also received the AutoBox apple play adapter last night. Mounting underneath the USB ports with a piece of alien tape tonight. Connected seamlessly with my iPhone. Bye Bye cord.

I did the Jr. as wel, I like the low profile look better and I’m always on Pandora or iTunes…. But I definitely notice a decently sized difference in reception as im in a rural area
