I think it will work fine. I have the Truxedo Lo Pro. The only thing to keep in mind is the rails that mount to your truck will reduce your bed clearance by 3/4 - 1". It's a good idea to have at least 6" of clearance to your fifth wheel.
I have the 5th prep on the truck so i won't have rail:)
What are the 6" clerance you re talking?
Could you please expalin sorry never tow fifth wheel
He is talking about the tonneau side rails. They also extend into the bed on each side an inch or more reducing the clearance between the pin box and the side rails on tight turns. Some have reported the rear of the pin box hitting the tonneau cover side rails in such cases.
The 6" clearance is the distance between the top of the truck bed side rails and the bottom of the front of the 5er overhang. 6" is generally considered the minimum clearance you should have to keep the 5er from hitting the bed rails going over uneven ground.
