You love your truck. That's not surprising. But after you drove it off the lot you may have discovered it was missing a certain 'something'. The right accessories can transform a good truck into a great one and improve your driving experience.

Side Steps

Lifted trucks are great for traversing challenging terrain, but it can be a bit more difficult when it comes to entering and exiting. Typically, you’ll find flat running boards or tubular nerf style bars on the market. Spyder Industries uses a unique square tube design with individual drop steps – in single, double, or triple step configurations - depending on cab style and length desired. Unlike flat running boards, we designed our steps with open steel treads for extra traction and less debris for added safety and. Optional LED lights can be added and wired to provide additional light while climbing in and out of your truck in the dark. Built to blend with the appearance of your truck and bolt securely to the body, side steps for lifted trucks are a great accessory for people who want something practical and visually appealing.

Headache Rack

While headache racks are designed to look nice and enhance the appearance of any truck, it's the safety advantage that most truck owners really value. Without one, all it takes is a shift in load and you have a broken back window, damaged cab, or worse, an injured occupant. Whether you're hauling exceptionally heavy or awkward loads, a headache track allows you to carry them with added security and protection against harm.

Rear Hoop

All the above accessories offer some sort of practical benefit. Rear hoops are no exception. Our half or three-quarter height rear hoops allow you to haul extra-long loads safely and securely without the bulk of a traditional equipment rack. Because they’re not the same height as the headache rack at the front of the truck bed, it’s much easier to load lumber, pipe, or even kayaks on lifted trucks. Best of all, the angle helps prevent long, flexible loads from slipping and damaging the top of your truck cab. And, when not in use, they can quickly and easily be removed until needed again.

Accessories like these keep your truck looking great while giving you the freedom to tackle nearly any job. If you're interested in these or other truck accessories, be sure to drop us a line or give us a call for recommendations and advice.
