Too many to list

Since lifting my truck and adding larger tires my antenna now hits on the garage door. I'm looking for the best shorter antenna by 5-6" that does not effect my reception. I am not looking for a stubby. Recommendations??

I can definitely tell you stay away from the stubby. I got one, and my reception sucked, even in normal high reception areas. Had to switch out and go with my OEM.
