Default stubby antenna

I bought a stubby antenna at a local auto parts store and it had some universal adapters but nothing as large as the stock JK antenna. does anyone know what size and thread the stock antenna is and if there is a direct stubby replacement that will fit?

Bought mine yesterday. Got tired of listening to the stocker bouncing off the KC's.
