Headache Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150

Question:

I am interested in a headache Rack for 2018 F150 short bed. Just purchased a Thule Trac Rac Universal Steel ladder rack that clamps to bed rail. Am I able to purchase a headache rack that is also clamp on or do I need to drill? Thank you for your assistance

Since headache racks and ladder racks occupy the same area on the front of the truck bed there really isn't a great way to have both installed.

Probably the best solution would be to replace the front upright of your ladder rack with a Aries AdvantEdge Headache Rack # AA1110202 which you could then use as a front ladder rack crossbar.
