Question for y'all...I have a 06 F-350 with 8" lift and 37" Toyos. My bed rails are sitting at 62". I'm looking at buying a new 5er but I'm not sure if my truck is too tall. Any one have a similar set up or know of someone who does? Just want to know if it can be done and done safely.

Thanks,
Tim

I think your to high, only thing i can see to do is to raise the camper, which then effects the steps for getting in. You should also check to see if your rear 8 in springs have the same load cap. as stock. sometimes they don't.

You are too high. With 4" lift and 35" rubber you could flip the trailer springs but it would take some serious trailer lift to clear your bed-rails now.
