Anyone running with 5.5" bed rail clearance?

I have a quick obervation. I had a 2013 F150 CC with 6.5' bed. I purchased my first 5th wheel. I know, I know I am one of those who fell for the 1/2 ton can handle this unit. Anyway, I just bought a F350 CC with the 6.9 bed. I also have the 6.7 PSD. Now my measurements from the 1/2 ton were ground to floor of bed was 34.5" and the height of the box was 22.5" which gave me 57" to the bed rail. I had 6" of clearance to 5 th wheel. Now new 1 ton has 37.9" from ground to floor of box and the box height is 20" which gives me 57.9" to bed rail. I have not hooked to 5th wheel with new truck. Based on my measurements I should have no problem with clearance. Am I missing something? Everyone is saying the new 1 tons are too high. I look forward to comments!

It looks like you could be at least an inch higher. Based on your measurements you're starting .9" higher. The F350 won't sag as much from the weight of the 5th wheel. I'm thinking you'll be close to 1-1/2", maybe 2" higher when hooked to your 5th wheel. Hopefully I'm wrong and you won't have the same problem I have.
