Hey guys

I'm looking into putting a headache rack on my new truck (08 Chevy crew cab stupid short box (5'8")) and was woundering what your guys had on your trucks, how they looked/performed, I haul lots of firewood, and also run as a pilot truck

I found one that I liked from highway products
Headache Racks by Highway Products

requirements for what i'm looking for are
-Extra tail lights
-room to mount a beacon
-Some way to mount wide load banners
-rear window pertection

thanks for ur info guys

and happy new years

 

I use a back rack, looks good works good. It came with a bracket with a plate and a beacon light that extended off the drivers side. I took the beacon light and bracket off and used the wires for offroad light that I mounted on the top. Works great for tying taller stuff to. One thing you'll want to consider is if u plan on putting a tool box in or if u already have one. Because there are a couple different brackets for the side of the bed rail depending on if u put a tool box in or not.
If your Looking more for rear window protection I would recommend a Safety rack by back rack. They also have a bunch of accessories

 

Check out Frontier Gear and Ranch Hand... They have some good options with lighting capabilities... Also, Spyder Industries makes some customizable headache racks.

 

I just wanted to write a quick message to say how happy I am with my decision to go with multy's headache rack: it was the best decision I've ever made!

I ordered the headache rack and it was delivered super fast—I had it installed in no time. The build quality is actually the best I've ever seen. It's built from nearly 1/4" wall aluminum pipe, and it's made in North America. The powder coating is gorgeous and it has tonnes of accessories available. It's universal, too! It will fit any pickup truck.

It's so nice knowing that this product is built right here in my country—not only does it support American workers, but it also means that if something goes wrong with my order, they'll be able to fix it immediately.
