People have trouble getting 5th wheel trailers to clear the bed rails on STOCK height trucks made in the last 10 years or so. You're looking at at least 6" higher with the lift and oversize tires.
Unless your toy hauler is extremely high at the pinbox already it won't clear the bed rails. You will have to resort to extreme measures to get the trailer high enough to clear.
