5.0 & gmc 2500 hd

Hello everyone! I am getting ready to order a 5.0 and I am super excited! I have a 2018 GMC Sierra HD 2500 All Terrain edition, and the side rails and rear are right at 58 inches. This has no mods and has the 6’7” bed. I had already planned on having the hight lift axel but I am concerned at potential contact in a off-road situation. I plan on boondocking most of the time with only the occasional campground. Obviously I am not going to be doing anything extreme but wondering if this is something I should be worried about? All feedback, and advice is appreciated, thank you!

I don't think you will have any issues with 58" bed rail height

I have 9" of clearance between my truck bed sides and the trailer loft frame.
The truck bed sides are 57" high and the 5.0 has the lift option.
