On our old lance I mounted two 2' firestik antennas on the top of the ladder.. Since they "saw" each other, they used each other as a ground plane. That setup worked very well.

Similar to this mount. I added two additional screws and a spring.

I have a fender gap mount on our jeep jk. I would not trust it to handle a 5' antenna.

I am liking the fender mount idea. This site has a bunch, but not seeing one that specifies my year.

I'm sure a number of them would work fine. I feel if I could find someone locally with a selection that that would be the best solution.

The shorter the antenna, the more lousy it the reception/transmission becomes.
You have to do what you have to do, but that's a lousy idea, the shorter antenna.
You need to get at least 1/4 to 1/2 wavelength, and decent coax and connectors.
Most CB coax is junk and the connectors are too.
Best wishes to you.
