With a 5th wheel you're looking at the weight of the pin which will determine if you can legally pull it. Do you know what the pin weight is? If so, find out how much the your truck weighs, then subtract that from the GVWR to find out how much weight you can haul, ie.. pin weight. Then find out what the GCWR is, (Looks like 20k). Then find out what the 5th wheel weighs and how much weight is on the pin. If the 5th wheel weight exceeds the load capacity of your 2500............well all I can say is you're going to have to make a decision.

This is why I bought my 3500 with the 4,10 limited slip rear end.
