Couple things....
First ditch the FL-series antenna and get a FS-series antenna as it is a top load antenna.
second, take all the powder coat off around ALL the holes you plan to use (mounting and antenna holes) so you can get a good ground. also use a spring or a quick connect, the antenna is only 102in, you need to be at 108in. 108in will put you in the middle of the frequency band.

Thanks for the input. I actually placed the order yesterday and luckily the setup I ordered from Northridge came with the FS-series antenna. Also, ordered the heavy duty spring. Hopefully I'm good to go with this order.
