I tow a 3400RL with a 2005 Dodge 3500 SRW.

With a 2500 you will be over GVW on the truck, and GVCW that the truck has with the truck and trailer. Also I wouldn't be surprised if you are also over your Axle weight on your rear axle of your 2500.

Loaded with goods but not any water, your 3400RL will add around 2400 lbs of weight to your axle weight of your 2500. Go get your 2500 weighed and see if you can accept the extra weight on your rear axle. Make sure before weighing that you have the load you would normally carry in the truck including the 5th wheel hitch and full fuel.

By the way, the cumins should have no problemn pulling your 3400RL. The weight issue is a problem with your axle and tires.
