I suspect your only issue will be the DOT. I'll bet you'll be overweight for the GCWR of your truck.

Otherwise it should not be a problem.

I have an 06 Dodge w 5.9 Cummins and a 14k 20+5 gooseneck. This rig is legal, per manufacturer, for about 21k Gross Combined Weight Rating. I loaded 2 Farmall Super H's and scaled 22k. About 1000lbs over. I sweated he whole 200 mile trip home. The engine and trans temps started getting hot at 60 mph. Which was plenty fast anyway. I made it but won't load it that heavy again.
