Somethings not right with your numbers.
I had a 2018 Ram 2500 and towed a 5er with an 1800 lb pin. The truck only squatted a couple inches. The front never rose up. I was around 9800 lbs for after hitching up. 200 lbs under the GVWR.
I also towed the same 5er with a 2012 Ram 2500. It had a 9600 lb GVWR. I was over the GVWR by 200 lbs with the same 1800 lb pin.
How can you be over your GVWR (10,000) by 800 lbs with a pin thats only 200 lbs more than mine?
5th wheels don't raise the front of the truck up enough to matter.
Your 2500 must be squatting 4-5" since level is about 3" low in the rear. No way will 2000 lbs drop the rear 4-5".
