I had my reading glasses on.... Okay, look at your own picture in the first post.
Like somebody above said, hook it up and start backing into a turn. Have a spotter tell you when to stop. Then look at where you are and decide if you need more maneuverability than that.- Super_DaveExplorerMy cabinet is approximately 24” deep x 36” tall. Sounds like I will have to take it out.
- BarryG20ExplorerI have along bed truck. I also have a headache rack. I also want my bed floor as open as possible so I can haul lumber or whatever as I do haul a lot of stuff. SO what I did was added a couple brackets to my headache rack mounts and mounted my box(well technically it is a chest since it was originally designed to sit on the bed floor). By doing that I still have my box and 9 inches of height of clear bed floor front to rear and my box does not go above the bed rails.

Seriously? You've got some eyes. - It really depends on your set-up. How much higher than the bed is it? And how sharp do you need to turn? Look at rhagfo's photo above, he would have to be jacking at almost 90 degrees before he would have to worry about hitting a low box. And then it would depend on bed clearance and terrain.
- valhalla360NavigatorDepends on how high, clearance and how sharp you want to turn.
With a long bed, it's often not a big deal unless you want to turn really sharp.
If you already have the truck and trailer, not hard to simply hook up and slowly turn until you see where the limit is. - Super_DaveExplorerThanks, my crate is in so I was debating whether or not I had to take it out.

Gotta have a low profile box.
Correct, there are a lot of tool boxes that sit below the rails, then you can also put on a bed cover. - jdc1Explorer IIGotta have a low profile box.
