Check the truck's cargo capacity on the Tire and Loading Information sticker on one of the driver's door posts. With a 5th wheel having a GVWR of nearly 17k, thus a pin weight of 3,400# (20%), you'll be well over your truck's GVWR, especially when you add everything else we carry in our trucks.
People don't like to hear it, but you need a dually to haul one of these big rigs and stay within the truck manufacturer's numbers. Don't listen to the "pulls fine" and "never had a problem" posts. Do the numbers and go from there.
