OK now that everyone has told you how to do it look at the legal side with is 2 sided.
Your towing capacity is your towing capacity. The only way to up that legally is to trade yer truck on a 3/4 or 1 ton. You can change out the entire drive train and it's whats on the door tag/title that counts. Plus if you add 100 pounds of hitch and overload bags or springs you reduce the amount you can legally carry by 100 pounds. Plus add in that some states are starting to check and scale pickups, smallest fine I've heard of is about $750. Towing capacity is determined by engine/tranny and braking ability plus type of hitch. Carry weight is determined by the axle not the springs.
Now look at the legal liability side. You get in an accident that winds up in a court room you can bet the other guys lawyer is going to do his/her best to paint you as a "cowboy" who wasn't worried about the safety of others on the road and only wanted a bad a$$ truck.
Don't believe it? Check the laws in your state and any state where you may be carrying/towing with that state DOT.
