Yes. It sits between your machine and the cab as a physical stop, so a bumper or rack never meets your back glass, even if the machine shifts while you load.
Can I mount a winch?
Yes. Mount your winch to the Headache Rack and pull your quad straight up into the bed. If you're going to winch, we strongly recommend installing the rail with our Plus Nut Kit, or another rivet nut or nutsert install, instead of self-tapping screws alone. Always follow safe winching practices: keep a straight pull, stay clear of the cable, and never exceed your winch's rating. Damage from winching isn't covered by our warranty.
Do I need the Plus Nut Kit?
If you winch, we strongly recommend it. A winch puts real load on the rail, and a rivet nut install like the Plus Nut Kit gives you the strongest hold. It goes in completely from the front side in 1 to 2 hours. For bikes and lighter cargo, the standard self-tapping install takes about 10 minutes.
Will it fit my truck?
Every rail is cut for a specific truck bed. Use the Select Your Truck bar at the top of the page and we'll confirm the right rail before you buy. Not sure? Contact us and we'll match it for you.
Can I still use my bed for other stuff?
Yes. Z-TRAK mounts on the front bulkhead, not the floor. Take the quad out and the bed is open for coolers, lumber or a deer. The E-Track slots take straps, rings and other accessories.
How strong is it?
Our Z-TRAK® and High Strength E-TRAK rails are rated up to 2,000 lb. Real-world installed capacity depends on your truck, the mounting surface, and how it's mounted. For heavy loads or winching, we recommend the Plus Nut Kit.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Every order is covered by our 30-day Test-Fit Promise: unbox it and test-fit it before you install, and if it doesn't work, we'll exchange it or take it back. A 20% restocking fee covers shipping both ways. If our fit selector or our shipping was wrong, we cover everything. Installed items can't be returned. Every rail also carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty and is made in the USA from 12-gauge American steel.
