How minimal of clearance is okay between cab and cabover?

Done. Across the bottom of my camper, there are u-shaped pieces of metal. so what I did was remove them, applied a wood treatment to the bottom while it was flat. attached the 2x4's where the metal strips were, then reapplied the metal runners. This way they are always there and no storage issues.

Now as a safety note, I used 2 maple top with heavy metal leg work tables under each end of the camper while I was underneath. While still using the legs from the camper also.

I simply throw the 2x4s or 4x4s in the bed of the truck, then load the TC. I put two 5' to 5-1/2' long pieces (cut from 8' long pieces) in front of the wheel well and two behind the wheel well. I put the 2-1/2' to 3' pieces between the wheel wells, bumping one end against the wheel well to give support to the bottom edge of the TC, and the other end toward the bed center supports the floor. Leaving them loos makes them easy to stack and store with the TC off.
