Whether you need one or not, they make A lot of Positive handling and riding improvements. I wouldn't go on a long haul without!

A Ram 2500 Diesel will have no problem towing an 8,000 lbs. trailer without a WDH. Outside the RV industry people pull much heavier than that. Make sure the drawbar is rated for the trailer weight and you will be good to go.

The hitch rating is 1800 lbs, so tongue weight isn't an issue. I wouldn't be too worried about giving it a shot on a ball. Might find you don'd need a WDH and certainly front axle unloading isn't going to be a concern with that CTD sitting up front.
That's most likely 1800lbs with a weight distribution setup. You're probably ok because most hitches are about half that without the weight distribution. That would be around 900lbs hitch weight. My 7500lb trailer fully loaded is 1000lbs hitch weight and can reach 1100lbs so it would be best to keep your trailer empty without the weight distribution.

Yesterday I saw a HD diesel truck pulling an empty constriction trailer on the freeway. It was no where near his capacity bot it was all over the road.
