To do that you'll neeed to remove the spare tire and carrier. The carrier swings out way to the right when opened far enough to drop the tailgate. FWIW, you'll also not be able to install a tonneau cover.

The rear window height is slightly more than 12 inches. Combine that with the variables you already know and the specs in the picture below and you should be able to calculate your answer.
