New truck bed rail clearance concerns

I am contemplating trading in my current TV a 2007 Chevy Dually for a 2019 Chevy 3500HD. My concern is bed height and maintaining the proper clearance between the truck and 5'er. I want to be sure the nose/overhang of the trailer does not contact the truck.
For those of you with newer trucks has this been an issue. Have you had to make alterations to truck or trailer to maintain or create proper clearance?

I have 5.5"clearance as well and have never hit. My truck is a 2018 ford. My rig sits very level also.
