I have been told that "Helper Springs" might be an acceptable resolution. I am also using a centerline weight distribution hitch. Can/will the helper springs increase my towing capacity and would I need to re-adjust the weight distribution hitch if I add springs? Last thing I want to experience is a blowout or worse yet a broken axel.

as others have said, PAYLOAD CAPACITY is more important than towing capactiy.
and helper springs do NOTHING to increase towing capacity.
