I just measured mine. My hitch plate is about 1 3/4 to 2 inches below my bed rail BUT I also have the optional low profile feet. The feet go between the picture frame and the hitch. The low profile feet drop the overall hitch height by an 1 1/2.
From the face of my pin box plate to the underside of my FW it's 11 inches. 11 minus the 2 inches my hitch plate sits below my bed rail gives me about 9 inches of bed clearance to underside of FW give or take. I thought I had measured about 8.5 at one time but it depends on how it's sitting when hitched. i may be a little on the high side of rail clearances but I do a fair amount of off road maneuvering and have backed into a few wild looking areas so I like clearance.
I had the standard feet when I bought the hitch. I installed everything and then dug the FW up onto wood blocks until level. At that point I first knew that I had too much rail clearance. When I figured that I woukd drop an 1 1/2 with the optional $80 feet I then subtracted an 1 1/2 from the blocks of wood that were under the tires and determined the amount of lift needed to level up. The first thing I did was go to 16 inch LT tires and new wheels. I then flipped the axles, added a Dexter ezflex and wet bolts.
