It all depends on the tongue weight and what else you have in the truck bed and how it handles. I don't think a 2500 truck should need one with that size trailer assuming your hitch is rated high enough weight carrying capacity. I'd be pretty sure it is.

Even so, I'd guess around 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of tongue weight. I have no problems with it. That's with the truck already carrying another 2,000 pounds of tools and gear.
I wouldn't want the hassle of dealing with a WDH if I didn't absolutely need one. They're heavy and noisy.
