Adding additional springs will stiffen the ride and reduce some sway. Keep in mind that this will transmit more vibration and vertical movement to the rig and contents. If you have been bottoming out check the weight of the rig first to see if it is an overload situation. If the rig is inside of the GVW when loaded and the trailer is bottoming out the springs may well be weak.

If it has not been bottoming out what benefit do you expect to gain by adding more springs?
