More than 2 feet, less than 3 is my guess. Get at least a 3 foot if you're mounting right behind the cab.

3' antennas will be too short if you want to mount them on top of a box rail. You want at LEAST 50% of the antenna above the cab. Some 5' antennas would be a better choice for mounting on top of a box rail. Here is my set up mounted on my home made back rack.
