Sounds like a dangerous situation.
I can't imagine the front wheels come off the ground of a truck that has a fifth wheel attached; seeing that the fifth wheel is connected over the rear axle of the truck rather than the bumper.
What is the weight of the fifth wheel and what is the GVWR of the truck? These two numbers should tell the story as to whether or not you should be using this truck to pull the fiver.
Lastly, you would not be the first person to be sold a unit that their vehicle couldn't handle. Many RV salesmen really don't care so long as you can pull it off their lot. I am sorry if that was the case in this situation.
