I don't know what you can do since your vehicle is grossly overloaded.
A , 150 is like a car with an open trunk. Its a 1/2 ton carrying vehicle and that's 1000 lbs. max. You are trying to put the proverbial 5 lb stuff in a 2 lb bag and helper springs do not make the vehicle any stronger since it is built for a certain weight capacity.
You are probably exceeding the capacity of what the tires are rated for also.
If your weight estimate is somewhat accurate, I would consider leaving some stuff behind.
