1) Ground your antenna - the cargo management system may or may not have a good ground to the body. You want to run your ground wire from the mount bracket on the antenna to a good body ground.

2) I would look for a taller antenna. 6 inches above the cab is not very much. Higher is better, closer to the center of the truck is better.

I have had good luck with the Francis antennas since I came across them 15 years or so ago.
