Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Powder-coated steel side panels provide superior strength and durability compared to aluminum. The robust steel construction prevents cargo from sliding off during transport, ideal for gravel, mulch, firewood, or construction materials.
Adjustable Height System
Customize rack height from 15-20 inches to accommodate different cargo types. Lower for aerodynamics and garage clearance, raise for taller loads or rooftop tents. Aluminum crossbars keep weight manageable.
Multiple Tie-Down Points
Steel side panels feature integrated tie-down points for securing cargo with straps or bungee cords. Aluminum crossbars include T-slot channels for additional mounting options.
Why steel side panels instead of aluminum?
Steel side panels provide superior strength and rigidity for containing heavy or shifting cargo. The powder-coated steel construction is more durable and resistant to impact damage, making it ideal for work trucks and heavy-duty applications.
What are side panels for?
Steel side panels prevent cargo from sliding off the sides of your truck bed during transport. Perfect for loose materials like gravel, mulch, firewood, tools, or construction supplies that need secure containment.
Will this fit my truck?
Fits most full-size and mid-size trucks from 2005-2025, including F-150/F-250/F-350, Silverado, Sierra, Ram, Tundra, Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado, Canyon, Gladiator, Titan, and Frontier. Compatible with 5.0-8.0 ft beds.
Can I adjust the height after installation?
Yes. Adjust from 15-20 inches by loosening mounting bolts, repositioning to desired height, and retightening. Takes about 15 minutes.
Can I still access my truck bed?
Yes. Steel side panels don't cover the top or ends of your bed. You can still load cargo from the tailgate and access the bed normally. The panels only prevent side spillage.
How difficult is installation?
About 60 minutes with basic tools. Bolts directly to bed rails, no drilling required. Complete instructions and hardware included. Most customers install themselves.
What can I carry with steel side panels?
Loose materials (gravel, mulch, firewood), tools, construction supplies, camping gear, bikes, kayaks, lumber, and any cargo that benefits from side containment. 500 lbs capacity with superior cargo security.
