I am trying to prepare my truck to pull a trailer slightly over the tow capacity.
You're going to be more than "slightly" over tow capacity.

No

If this opinion is based on the legality i am aware of the concequence of exceeding factory limits.
And what is the consequence?

I am also aware that factory limits are to protect the manufacturer from liability and under most circumstances are much lower than real world limits.
What are "real world" limits, is there a fake world?

I plan to pull it 3 times or less this year before upgrading my truck in December.
So you're proposing replacing leaf springs, gears, installing a supercharger, etc. on a vehicle you're going to replace in 3 months?

Once to my home( 60 miles away) once to the Coast (500 miles Round trip), and once to FL. (1000 miles Round trip).
I guess if you never stopped driving it would only be 1 trip by your logic.
