I am looking to buy an older front living fifth wheel and I would like to have some suggestions. I have a 2007 2500 LBJ diesel truck so I can pull up to 14000 lbs total weight.

Thanks for your help.

fill your gas tank, find a scale and weigh your front and rear axels, then look at the decal and see what your max rear axel weight is and do the math and that will tell you the pin weight you can handle make sure you allow of who ever else goes with you and the weight of your 5th wheel hitch also. then when looking at 5th wheels look at the specks on the pin weight and add 500 lbs, that will get you in the ball park, but I can pretty much guarentee you a 2007 3/4 tone will be overloaded with a 14000 lb 5th wheel.
