2014 Ram 3500 SRW Clearance??

Is anyone towing with a new 2014 Ram 3500 SRW? If so, any clearance issues wit the new deeper bed? I have a '14 Ram 3500 Longhorn, SRW, crew-cab, longbed, with the Aisin tranny and the 3.42 rear end on hold with deposit at the dealership. After a bit of research, I found the top of the bed rail on the 2014 to be 59.4" tall. My current 2012 Ram 3500 DRW Longhorn is only 57" tall to the top of the bed rail. I realize the SRW will squat a little bit more so the 2" might not impact the overall clearance, but I'd rather know now than after I sign the deal.

I currently have the Pullrite 20.5k Super 5th hitch and will be having that mounted into the bed of the new truck this week once I finalize the deal Monday. I have also listed the trucks specs below in case anyone is interest:

GVWR - 12,300lbs
Payload - 4,270lbs
Base Weight - 8,028lbs
Axle ratings - Front 6k Rear 7k
GCWR - 25k
Max Trailer - 16,800lbs
