I would "sandwich" this bracket between the bed and the cover, it should work fine.

Did you mount on the outside of the rails ? Or inbetween the cab and box ? Does your antenna hit the back of the cab when flopping back and forth ?

Amazon Amazon

Make sure you get the proper coax for dual antennas or the antennas wont tune right and the radio wont work right.

Yea I mounted on top of the bed, next to my tonneau cover. I'm on my phone so ill post a link tomorrow of the brackets I used and put up some pics. No it doesn't hit the cab when flopping. I have 2 firestik II's and they're great. The brackets are awesome and don't move at all and are very straight

This is what I did on both sides remove the stake pocket cover install the stake pocket mount and then I cut a home in the cover and put the cover back on real clean look IMO
