height of F250 2X4

I wonder if anyone has seen the measurements for a two wheel drive F250 or F350, from the ground to bed of truck or ground to top of rail. I am interested to see if the heighth of the truck is taller than previous years. This is very important to me because I tow a fifth wheel and my Rv has about 6-7 inches clearance on my 05 F250 now. I am hoping that the new truck will keep the clearance at least the same or better. This is the main reason I didn't go with a 4X4, because they were about an inch higher or more, cutting down the clearance between RV and bed rails. Just wondering I know it will be awhile before the trucks start to show up at the stealerships. And when they do they are almost always 4X4's, it is a rare truck that comes in 4X2 unless ordered.

Percys is this from the ground to inside of box on the 4X2? This is still higher than the previous 4X2 then. This would make it 53.5 and if I'm not mistaked mine is 51 and 3/4 inches to bed rail with the 17" tires.

Thanks, for the info. It is higher than what I have but I think it is still do able if and when I change to the new 08. This time though I'm gonna wait for a spell, till they get the initial bugs out. I bought one of the first runs of 03's and had the original injectors, and always was worrying about them going bad with all the problems people had. Never had a problem but traded it off just to be on the safe side.
