BackRack

BackRack builds steel headache racks and cab protection — over 300 parts across the frame range, hardware kits, light brackets, tool box adapters and accessories.

A headache rack does two jobs: it shields the rear window from a load that shifts under braking, and it gives you something to strap long material against. On a work truck the second job is the one used daily — lumber, ladders and pipe all want a fixed vertical surface rather than a tailgate.

The system is modular. The frame is one purchase, the vehicle-specific hardware kit is another, and light brackets, tonneau adapters and toolbox spacers are added as needed — so check that the hardware kit for your truck is in the basket alongside the rack, since the frame alone will not mount.

Rack or headache rack? Our guide to bed racks separates the two, and covers mounting, height and load rating.
