I have the same side panel height - 59.5" (unloaded). I'm pulling just a little nose high (approx 2"), and have a clearance of 5.5" between the top of the side and bottom of the fiver overhang. I could drop it a hole in the hitch to make the trailer level, but then would have less clearance. I wish I had a little more clearance, but haven't had a problem with 5.5".
By-the-way - the amount the truck "squats" DOES NOT change the clearance. Only the hitch height will do that. A heavier trailer will be the same as a light one given the same pin box height. It WILL change the clearance just a little in the trailing edge of the side IF the truck isn't level, but very little.
