Adding a weight distribution hitch to your trailer and vehicle does not increase the tow capacity and you can only tow safely up to your vehicles rated tow capacity.

A weight distribution hitch helps to prevent tow vehicle sag, provide a more smooth level ride with the vehicle and trailer and help with stopping and prevent trailer sway.

When hooked up properly the weight distribution hitch will help to make your vehicle and towing experience a safer ride.
