ALUMINUM HEADACHE RACKS 68 X 80
Both 68 x 80 aluminum, both fit sleeper and day cab. Open chain-and-tray at 160 lbs, or diamond plate with a lockable tool box at 220 lbs.
How To Choose
Two racks. The decision is whether you need the tool box.
Open, chain-and-tray — 160 lbs. Two hangers hold 24 chains, and a full-width dunnage tray runs the length of the rack. Lighter, and nothing to lock.
Diamond plate with Mini-Vault — 220 lbs. A lockable box with three interior shelves, and the same two hangers for 24 chains. Sixty pounds more, and your binders are out of the weather and out of sight.
Both are 68 x 80 aluminum, both fit sleeper and day cab, and both need 22" of catwalk clearance. Aluminum is the reason to buy either one: it does not rust the way bare steel does under road salt, and the weight you save is weight you can haul.
Neither one welds on. Both mount with a U-bolt kit sized to your frame rail — 19-5/8" for most trucks, 22" extended for a reinforced rail.
Headache racks are not front-end protection devices and do not meet FMCSA/DOT CFR 393.114a. Secure every load per CFR 393.100-393.132 regardless of what sits behind the cab. Install on trucks only, not on trailers.

“Got 2 4ft tarps and 2 8ft tarps for my husband’s birthday since he drives a flatbed. It’s been a while now, and he’s been using them non-stop—says they’re the best tarps he’s ever had. They seriously withstand everything! Super tough and still look like new.”
