    Have you tried putting it on the other side and inverting it?

    Had to mount my left on the right inverted so it would clear my Leer. The mount is still phenomenal and I'll have it wired up tomorrow!

    Great! So inverting it did increase clearances?

    Got the mount installed and firestick wired up! I took a driver's side mount and inverted it on the passenger side to clear my Leer 100r. Mount is sturdy and very well built :cool:

    Loving mine so far, one concern though, have you had any problems with them bending? Granted I dont have my spring installed on my 4ft firestik yet but i notice after much driving around, it starts to tweak back or to the side a little. Im sure a spring would help a ton though.

    Selection of antenna and components is definitely a factor. It is only 1/8". I can only suggest asking others opinions.

    Sorry.

    I haven't had any issues running my 3' firestick without a spring... Just did a 2 hr interstate drive coming back from ATL and it did just fine. The spring should help a little
