I bought a new truck. Will my old BACKRACK™ fit on my new truck?
Possibly. If it is the same make and model no problem. If you have changed vehicles the Frame size may be too big or too small. Most important is that the Mounting Hardware is correct for your new truck. This consists of the Brackets that attach to the Frame, and the vehicle specific Stake Pocket Bolts that mount into your front Stake Pockets. These parts are available in a package called a Mounting Kit. Mounting Kits are available for purchase. If the Frame you currently have is too big for your new truck you will likely need to drill a few new holes to position the brackets in the correct location. If the Frame is too small you’re going to need a new one. Obviously a Frame that is too large or small will negatively effect the look of your truck.

Do I have to drill holes in my truck to install a BACKRACK™?

On the majority of trucks no. If your truck is a late model fullsize certainly not. Trucks that do not have Stake Pockets generally require drilling through the bed rail. E mail specific questions to mfg@BACKRACK.ca


Can I install a BACKRACK™ myself or do I need professional help. 
Most people find installing a BACKRACK™ simple. As most applications are no drill, all that is required is a few wrenches. If you have a Bedliner or Toolbox, the installation is slightly more involved but still easily tackled. If you have a drill application or have multiple accessories like a Tonneau Cover the experience of an installing dealer is recommended. Click on the WHERE TO BUY tab to find a dealer near you.

Is the BACKRACK™ available in chrome?
Sorry. No Chrome.

Is the BACKRACK™ available in a color other than black?

We think Henry Ford had it right…..Black only. If you are a large fleet we will change the rule and offer any color you want. We have excellent in house Powder Coating but it must be in quantity to be cost effective.


I have a Tonneau Cover and want to install a BACKRACK™. Can this be done?

Possibly, with professional installation. Tonneau Covers interfere with areas on the truck bed where the BACKRACK™ sits. As a result, the cover needs to be cut or trimmed around these areas. Most soft covers utilize an aluminum channel that sits behind the window. This channel interferes with the BACKRACK™. A dealer with experienced installers will likely be able to make this combination work for you. Most importantly, the BACKRACK™ assembly must be secured to the truck as is described in the installation instructions. Mounting a BACKRACK™ on top of a Tonneau Cover is not acceptable.


I have a bedliner in my truck. Can I install a BACKRACK™ with it?

Easily. Under the rail liners are the easiest. Simply remove the liner, install the Stake Pocket Bolts, then reinstall the liner and attach your BACKRACK™. With an over the rail liner the procedure is the same however, you may need to drill holes through the top rail of the liner for the SPB’s to protrude through. It is best to place Rail Plates under the liner on over the rail liners. Call or e mail any questions @ mfg@BACKRACK.ca


I have a Toolbox on my truck. Can I install a BACKRACK™ with it?

Yes. The Toolbox Bracket mounting system allows you to install a Toolbox without drilling holes in your truck. Your Toolbox sits on top of two channels allowing you to mount the Toolbox up against the BACKRACK™ Frame. This leaves a minimal gap between the Toolbox and the BACKRACK™. Without the Toolbox Brackets, a gap of eight to fourteen inches will exist between the Toolbox and the BACKRACK™. The Toolbox is fastened to the Toolbox Brackets as opposed to being drilled or fastened to your truck bed. This means no holes drilled in your truck to fasten the Toolbox.


Do the Toolbox Brackets come included with the BACKRACK™?

If you specify that your truck has a Toolbox when ordering, the Toolbox Brackets will be included in the large BACKRACK carton. ( order Part # 10519 TB instead of Part # 10519 ).


Can the Toolbox Brackets be purchased separately if I add a Toolbox later?

Yes. If purchasing the Toolbox Brackets separately you will replace the Railmount Brackets and Rail Plates that came with the BACKRACK™ when you purchased it. Keep in mind that selling the Toolbox Brackets separately allows the dealers to keep less inventory.


What is the standard length of the Toolbox Brackets?
21 Inches. This is the length of the channel that the Toolbox sits on.

I have an extra large Toolbox. Do you offer longer Toolbox Brackets?

Yes. 31 Inch Toolbox Brackets are available for all trucks excluding Compacts.


I ordered Toolbox Brackets. There are no fasteners in the box. Why?

Toolbox Brackets that are sold separately ( 91010, 91011, 91012, 91013, 91010-C ) are meant to replace the existing Mounting Brackets and Rail Plates that came with the BACKRACK™. Along with the existing Brackets came a Hardware Bag containing all fasteners. You use the fasteners in the original Hardware Bag to install the Toolbox Brackets. Basically, you are removing the Railmount Brackets and Rail Plates and replacing them with the Toolbox Brackets.


Do I still use the Rail Plates with the Toolbox Brackets?
No. The Toolbox Brackets are designed to sit directly on the bed rails.

How do I know which Light Bracket Accessory I need?   

You need to establish where on the BACKRACK you want to locate the light ( Drivers Side, Passenger Side or Center ) and determine what size the light is ( Diameter or Length & Width ). Click the Accessories Tab to scroll through the available options to find the accessory most suited for your application.


My decals have fallen off. Can I get new ones?

Certainly. Provide us with your mailing address and we will mail new ones free of charge. We need to know if your truck is fullsize or compact and, which decal you require. E mail your request to admin@BACKRACK.ca


How do I know which Part # to order for my truck?
Click on the sign that the dufus is holding. This will take you to the interactive application guide. Look closely at the photos of each truck to be sure that you have the correct model.

UPS has damaged the carton and parts are missing. What do I do?
Breathe deeply and exhale. Call or e mail us and we will access the damage and get you what you need to finish the installation.

I think I have the wrong Part # for my truck. What now?

Click on the sign the Dufus is holding and double check that the truck you have looks like the one in the picture after choosing your truck. It’s possible that the problem can be solved by exchanging a few small parts as opposed to the entire large carton. If you purchased the product from a dealer, parts will need to be returned to them. Call or e mail us mfg@BACKRACK.ca and we will access what needs to be done.


I am missing a fastener from the Hardware Bag. What no ?

Every now and then mistakes happen. Our apologies. It’s likely that the nut or washer you are missing can be had at the local Home Depot. If you can pick one up there that would speed the installation dramatically. Failing that, call or e mail us mfg@BACKRACK.ca and we will ship you the missing part.


Do you sell Hardware Bags or Stake Pocket Bolts separately?

No. Only dealers or distributors can purchase Hardware Bags. Hardware Kits include the appropriate Hardware Bag for your application.


The dealer doesn’t have stock on my Part #. Why is this?

Many of our dealers purchase from a larger stocking Distributor that delivers to the dealer weekly or bi-weekly. Once they order from the Distributor your product should arrive in a few days.


Can a BACKRACK™ be shipped UPS right to my home or business?

Yes. UPS does ship BACKRACK’s™ and Safety Racks. Product for the Ford Superduty is considered oversize and thus has an increased shipping cost.


I ordered a BACKRACK™ and it hasn’t arrived yet?

West Coast destinations are 7 business days. Anything longer than that call or e mail Stephanie@usrack.com and we will track it for you. It is not uncommon for UPS to deliver one package one day and two more two days later.
