Your 2500 is not even rated close to pull something that big, and you already know it. Sure you can move it, but not safely.

Gotta agree with the comment above. You can make some changes to your truck but it still does not change what it is. We've all done stuff that worked but was not what I would call a good and safe practice. If you're gonna pull that kind of trailer with that much pin weight, get a truck that will do it safely. We've all seen the too small cars or trucks pulling too big camper trailers down the road and probably made comments about them at the time. Don't be one of those. If you can't pull it safely and at normal speeds then your tow vehicle is too small.
My opinion here.
Stay safe out there.

I pull a Fuzion 393 loaded at over 18000 lbs and 3200+ pin weight with my 2010 2500 ccsb lmm. I put airbags in it almost right after I bought it. To be honest I almost never pull the 5er with air in the bags. If I do it is only about 20 psi. It sits dang near level with nothing in the bags. I've pulled quite a few miles in all sorts of conditions and never once have I felt overloaded or the truck not handled it exceptionally well. Sure a 3500 drw would handle it better, but so would a semi tractor. The fact is that if my trailer decided it up and wanted to lay on its side a drw truck is not going to stop it. I'm extremely happy with my setup.
