    Is there a shorter antenna out there that still receives the HD weather etc? Ive tried two (stubby) and another and my weather app and fm radio stopped receiving signals. With my small lift and large antenna i can no longer fit truck ib garage.

    Not that I have seen. I've found some that claim to work but they don't. I think you are stuck with it for now.

    Stubby sucks unless you like AM. I took my OEM one, a dremel, 30 seconds and cut it down to 13". I keep my Stubby for the car wash only.

    Reception is the exact same as when it was 8 feet tall. I tried to remove the ball and nothing worked that I tried. Took one of THESE I had laying around and epoxied it on. Done.
