When the Telesteps Telescoping Pull Down Attic Ladder # TE84FR are fully extended you would need roughly 4-5 feet of clearance as the ladder will angle out more the further it has to extend. With you having a 8-1/2' tall ceilings the ladder would need to fully extend and should leave you with plenty of room in the 5' distance you have.
