Well two things;
#1 Most likely without looking your Ram 2500 has a listed GVWR of 8,800# maybe as high as 9,200#, no payload sticker on a 2005. So a trip to the scales is required to get an idea of what you can carry.

#2. Please post the year, make and model of the 5er you are looking at, it could have a huge payload, therefore making the fit closer.

Just an FYI any 5er over about 10,000# maybe 9,000# and you will be exceeding the Ram’s GVWR.
