The radio and complete antenna kit are the two package components. The list above describes the contents of that kit.
Mounting and clearance
Check that the mounting location supports the whip and spring and provides an appropriate RF ground connection. The bracket's general-purpose design does not guarantee fit on every vehicle.
The 102-inch figure is the whip length, not total installation height. Add the spring and mounting position when evaluating overhead clearance.
Use an external SWR meter to check the finished installation. Neither an SWR meter nor its connection cable is listed in this package, and the Johnny III's signal meter does not measure antenna SWR.
Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 102-inch whip included?
Yes. The complete kit contains the Hustler IC56 102-inch stainless-steel whip.
What coax does this version use?
It includes 18 feet of RG8X coax with PL-259 connectors, rather than the Driver Extreme M213 cable in the other whip bundle.
Does the kit include a spring and tie-down?
Yes. It includes a 5-inch potbelly barrel spring and an antenna tie-down, along with the bracket and stud.
How is this different from the Driver Extreme mirror bundle?
This version uses the complete RG8X installation kit with its bracket, spring, and tie-down. The other whip bundle uses a DRX-3402 mirror mount and DRX-1518 M213 coax, with no tie-down listed.
Is the complete installed antenna 102 inches high?
No. The whip alone is 102 inches long. The spring and mounting position add to the complete installation height.
Does the kit include an SWR meter?
No. Use a separate external SWR meter and suitable connection cable to check and adjust the installed antenna system.
