2021 Chevrolet 3500 SRW LTZ Bed Rail Height
I'm looking at one with 20 inch wheels on it. Does anybody have one they can measure the height from ground to the top of the bed rail? I need to make sure my old fifth-wheel will work with it.

Just to let everybody know where this stands.
The Chevy 3500 top of bed rails is about 2 inches higher than my old dodge 2500. I have an Pullrite in the old truck and the fifthwheel hitch plate is 14 inches above the floor of the bed. I had to lower the pinbox to get bed rail clearance over the dodge. The chevy bed is about 1 inch deeper than the Dodge. The new Pullrite for the Chevy's hitch plate is 18 inches above the floor of the bed. I will be able to raise the pinbox back up and still have 6 inches of clearance over the bed rails. And that lowers the nose of the trailer 2.5 inches.
From what I can put together from all of those numbers it looks like the nose of the trailer will go up about 1.5 inches from where it is now. The new hitch should be here on the 13th. Once I get it all hooked and sitting on a level spot I'll know for sure.
