Why yes, yes it will. Just be careful removing the old one. It's easy to break the pinch welds on it and make the thing just spin free on the base. Then good luck getting it off. That's why my stocker is still on.

I just cut my stocker while it was still on my car to my desired height then put a vacuum cap on the end. No signal loss. And It costs a dollar for the vacuum cap vs 20 for a whole shorty.
