Does a weight distribution hitch help with the tongue weight at all?
Can I make any modifications to an F150 that will help me with the load such as air bags, tires etc...?
1) Weight distribution will mitigate rear axle overloaded (to a point), but the weight is still on the truck, only being "distributed" to both axle. Some to the trailer axles too, but I wouldn't factor that into your truck purchasing.
2) The best upgrade to an F150 is holding out for or ordering one with with the Max Payload package. This package will provide 2200-3,000 pounds payload depending on configuration. They are hard to find, but will put the payload range close to a 3/4-ton. For occasional towing, but lots of solo driving, I'd take a F150 Max Payload over a true 3/4-ton.
For the record, it is actually called the "Heavy Duty Payload Package". It includes the "Max tow package" but is a significant upgrade over the "max tow package" alone.
