In short, I don't think you need to add capacity for the springs, but I would be really careful about towing at highway speeds. I've towed a loaded car hauler around town with my Blazer with no problem, but at freeway speeds it gets a little scary.

Thanks! When you did the car hauler, did you use a Weight Dist Hitch? Wondering how much those help...
