25RES bed rail clearance

What is the ground to overhang measurement on the 25RES?
We're shopping for a 2018-2020 and have some concerns whether my bed rails will clear. I have a 2002 Ram 3500 DRW and the rear most bed rail height is 58". I have looked into reverse leveling lowering the rear by 2-2.5" if need be.

Does your truck have any "lift kits" or "oversize tires/wheels" ??? Or is the suspension/running gear OEM ?

Much easier to lift the 5er.

I've done that on my old 5th and may have to do both but, unless you are posting the measurement I've asked for please don't post. Thanks.

My guess would be is everything is OEM there should be a problem. But I am no expert

You really know how to make freinds and influence people after joining a forum. May I reming you this is a forum and not a question and answer site. Folks relating their experiences, offering solutions are what makes this forum work. I hope you find your answer soon but please do not attempt to restrict the comments.

Didn't actually post to make friends but to get information. I've got PLENTY of trailer/truck/fab skills and thought a friendly question would receive a friendly answer but I forgot about all the people that feel the need to tell me what I should do.
Signing out.
