The 3515RT GVWR weight is 16,135 lbs. The weight you provided is the dry weight. You need to use the GVWR weight. I haven't researched all of the towing and weight specs, but I believe that you are significantly over the maximum weights for your truck. You didn't provide the axle ratio, or other things that affect your maximum towing capability.
All the above being said, it is not uncommon for such weight to be pulled behind your 350. Your brake controller will control the trailer braking. IMHO that is the most critical thing. You could be subject to some liability if you should be in an accident.
