Hey Phil! The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK448133 is approximately 3" thick when folded onto the front panel up at the cab of the truck. The panels are 1/2" thick but they don't fold perfectly flat and there is some other material in there as well. If you count where the latches sit it is closer to 4-1/2". Will that work for you? If not, you might want to consider a retractable cover like the Pace Edwards Switchblade # PE63CV.

Hey Phil, how did the clearance work out with the BAKFlip MX4 when folded up against your cab? Your results could really help others trying to fit a cover with a fifth wheel setup.
