Chase Racks
A chase rack is a truck rack that stands behind the cab like a race support truck's: spare tire, traction boards and lights up and out of the way while the bed floor stays open for boxes, dogs or dirt bikes. We carry chase racks from Addictive Desert Designs, DV8 Offroad, Fishbone Offroad and Rago Fabrication for the F-150 and Raptor, Super Duty, Ram 1500 and TRX, Tacoma, Tundra, Gladiator, Ranger, Chevy/GMC 1500 and Rivian R1T.
Every rack is built around one bed, so filter by year, make and model, or call (920) 249-7744 and a real human will check fitment.
Chase Racks FAQs
What's the difference between a chase rack and a bed rack?
A chase rack stands upright in the bed to carry a spare tire and fast-access gear; a bed rack builds a horizontal platform over the bed for tents and cargo. They solve different problems — one carries heavy, awkward items you hope not to need, the other turns the bed into a second roof. Some setups combine the two.
Can a chase rack carry a full-size spare on 35s or 37s?
That's the core job, but verify each rack's stated tire capacity before ordering. Oversized spares are exactly why chase racks exist — a 35 or 37 usually won't fit the factory underbody carrier — but capacity varies by design, and a mounted 37 with wheel is genuinely heavy. Check the listing, then think through how you'll actually lift it up there.
Will a chase rack block my rear view?
Some of it, yes — an upright spare sits square in your mirror, and pretending otherwise would be selling you something. How much depends on tire placement and rack design, which is worth comparing between models. Tailgate-mounted backup cameras are usually unaffected, but confirm against your own setup. Most owners adjust within a week; a few never stop minding it.
Is a chase rack overkill if I don't race?
Racing has nothing to do with it. The real question is whether you run a spare too big for the factory carrier and want your bed floor back — if yes, a chase rack is the cleanest answer going. If your spare still fits underneath and the bed isn't crowded, skip it and put the money toward gear you'll actually deploy.
What can I mount on a chase rack besides the spare?
Fuel and water cans, a farm jack, traction boards, shovels — accessory mounting is most of the format's appeal, and options vary by builder, so check what each rack supports. Then resist filling every open spot. Weight carried high and behind the axle changes handling more than the same weight on the bed floor, so reserve the rack for gear that earns it.
