This unit is well made, installed very easy, and has performed well in my CB setup. Not much more to say. As I noted in the cable review, make sure to scratch the paint off the underside of the antenna mount that this stud bolts to in order for the CB system to work properly and avoid sky-high SWR readings. I recommend this heavy duty spring over the lighter ones. My antenna has enough sway to give when an obstacle is encountered, but doesn't move gratuitously. Quality of Materials: * No issues with quality Quality of Fabrication: * No burrs, rough edges, or imperfections on the spring Ease of Installation: * Just follow directions. Suitability for Purpose: * Once I grounded the mount properly, my CB system using this spring has worked perfectly. Packaging/Delivery: * As usual, Prime delivers fast and delivers well. Package was brand new. Review: Great when paired with a 3ft Firestik antenna - I use this with a 3ft Firestik antenna (FS-3BK) and a Firestik quick disconnect (K-1A). Overall I think the 3 work really well together. I'm glad I got the heavy duty spring as opposed to the medium duty. This seems perfectly paired with the 3ft antenna. During normally use it bounches just a little, but at highway speeds I'll see it tilt back maybe 10-15 degrees. But it's got plenty of flex that I've never been afraid for the antenna when taking it through low hanging branches, the spring flexes plenty to take the load off the antenna. So far the antenna still looks shiny and chromey. Other guys in my offroad club with Firestik springs still have nice chromey springs, people with other springs have nasty rusty looking springs. I'm sold! Overall though if you're looking for a spring for a 3ft fiberglass antenna, for on or offroad use, I think this is a great match. ## Features - Every antenna should have a spring - Springs protect the antenna, mount and vehicle - This spring is made from long lasting, top grade electro-polished stainless steel - The upper and lower inserts are made of chrome-plated machine brass and have standard 3/8in-24 threads to fit all Firestik antennas, mounts and accessories - Spring is 3.0in (76mm) tall with a diameter of 0.800in (20mm). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NQRWFFX | | Antenna | Radio | | AntennaDescription | Radio | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,566 in Radio Antennas | | Brand | FireStik | | Color | Chrome | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,327 Reviews | | Impedance | 50 ohm | | Manufacturer | FIRESTIK | | Maximum Range | 5 feet | | Mfr Part Number | SS-3H | | Model Number | SS-3H | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 716414200096 703570184551 | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** Radio - **Brand:** FireStik - **Color:** Chrome - **Impedance:** 50 ohm - **Manufacturer:** FIRESTIK - **Maximum Range:** 5 feet - **Number of Channels:** 1 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **UPC:** 716414200096 703570184551 - **Unit Count:** 1 count ## Images ![FIRESTIK Heavy-Duty Spring, Stainless Steel, SS-3H - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+j+jQ0zmL.jpg) ![FIRESTIK Heavy-Duty Spring, Stainless Steel, SS-3H - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21DFZtZ-nGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do i need a spring to attach the antena or just screw antena to coaxial** A: It helps to have a spring attached to the antenna to take up the wind effect on the antenna when you are doing 60 mph. It is not necessary but if your antenna is a 102 inch whip, it helps take off the pressure of the antenna base that is attached to the body of your automobile/truck. **Q: Will this bang a 4' firestik 2 antenna against the back of my cab if mounted in the drivers side stake hole of a pickup truck when stopping and stuff?** A: This the spring that firestik recommend for 3 foot to 5 foot **Q: What mount do you need for this spring? a link to one would be great if possible** A: any standard CB mount - http://www.firestik.com/CatalogFrame.htmWinchel's Electronics246 West Main StreetPO BX 116Booneville, Ar 72927Support VeteransBuy Made in the USA **Q: Will the base of this spring screw on to a 3/8 magnetic base mount?not using this fire stik ss3h heavy duty spring for any vehicle** A: Yes, this is a 3/8 thread, because the Firestik II is a 3/8. :) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Firestik CB antenna spring *by S***I on July 11, 2015* Summary: Quality component, well made, easy to install I used this in conjunction with the K40 K4018FME 18' Super Mini-8 CB Antenna Cable with Removable FME Connector Antenna cable and the Firestik K-4A Stud with Screw-On Coaxial Termination for Antenna Mirror Mounts, both from Amazon (see my other reviews).

Very heavy duty and does exactly what it claims. You can grab your antenna and pull down on it with your body weight (not totally recommended) and the antenna would flex back just fine. This shows you that under normal circumstances - hitting overhead brush, etc. - that you will have ZERO issues with antenna flex with this installed. It also allows for more flex on highway speeds or with high winds. I plan on putting a quick disconnect on top of this spring, so I can easily pop the antenna off when needed. Also it will give me a little more height, and reduce the contact from my spare tire against the spring. See my review on the rugged ridge mount if you're looking to mount on a newer Jeep, I address that issue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/106168966-firestik-heavy-duty-spring-stainless-steel-ss-3h](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/106168966-firestik-heavy-duty-spring-stainless-steel-ss-3h) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
