It does providing you have a 1/2 wave length between the 2 antennas or approximately 9 feet in order to concentrate the pattern in front of and behind the truck. (you also need a phasing harness) Two antennas on a Ram will at best direct the pattern off the sides of the truck. If you feel you'd like to have a balanced look, I'd suggest installing a dummy antenna on the other side.

 

Firestick's website says that the antenna's don't have to be 9ft apart but they are in the business of selling antenna's so i guess it is a matter of opinion, I have been running two for some time now on a ford on the mirrows and cranking about 250watts so i felt that they were needed and i had them tuned very well. Now i am waiting on big bob to get his radio mount ready to sell so i can get my system in my new 2005 ctd. When i put my tool box back in after installing my bed caps i moved it back far enough to be able to open the lid and still have room for the antennas.

 

i just made my own setup in my truck for my cb off of bigbobs idea, but i couldn't get them darn seat bolts off so i thought of somthing else, i put a 1 1/2 inch by 1 inch piece of plywood running along the side of the center seat to the back, with a piece of metal coming straight up and mounted the cb, looks pretty good, not to take from bigbobs idea, i infact will probably buy one of his setups when he sells it...

 

also does anyone know of a website or somthing i can buy some antennas off of?? i can not find a store around me that sells the trucker antennas besides radioshack and im pretty sure they only come in white, and i want black. the closest truckstop is like 1.5 hours away. or does anyone know of any normal stores that sell the twin antennas?? thanks again

 

You can buy the from firestick or try GI joes cb shop gijoesradioelectronic.com that is where i got my cb and amp from they had the bestprices i could find.

 

i didn't think you could buy from firesticks website... ill try again and the gijoes site, thank you

 

I ordered my antennas and coaxial from firestick direct over the phone.

 

They don't advertise it, but yes, you can buy direct from them.

When I got mine, I did the search for a retailer near me and came up with nothing, so I emailed them.
They emailed back with a phone number to order direct from the factory.

Long since lost the number though.
