1st time 5'er here. I've read lots of rail pro's and con's. I ended up getting rails. Has not been a concern at all. However if you use your truck for the occasional trip for bark dust or such then I could see it being a problem.
FWIW I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel in my house. I've had to haul plywood and sheetrock. What I found was to just get two 2x4's and lay them on the outsides of the rails. Then all the flat items will just lay on the rails and 2x4's. To me the idea of a flat rail less bed isn't that big of a deal. My hitch stays in the truck from April till Oct-Nov, except for this year.
