The engine can handle the 5000lbs, but the frame extensions probably can't. You should be able to find a welder than can make the frame extensions sturdier to handle the extra weight. Once the frame is sturdy enough to handle the load, you should be good to go.

If I reinforce the frame extensions, would I be able to use the existing 3500lb hitch or would I need to replace it with a 5000lb hitch? Not sure the difference in the different capacity hitches.
