After seeing some photos online of trucks with their windshields cracked because the antenna whipped back and hit the glass, I figured getting rid of the factory whip might be a good idea. After installing the Ronin Factory Tailgate Assist and liking it so much I decided to use their short antenna as well. My only concern with it being rigid is that now it could get ripped off if something were to snag on it (I would imagine this to be highly unlikely). I will just have to keep an eye out for that.
