Trying to tow using a protege

:
1999 mazda protege es
Okay so I have an idea to use my car to tow with less then 2000lbs of course til I save enough to buy a truck. My question is that just going over bumps my fenders slice my back tires im thinkong of using coilovers sleeves as a helper spring or overload spring inside of the larger regular spring. Would this work to keep me from bottoming out?
 
How often do you need to tow? You can rent a Uhaul truck and not have to pummel your kidneys with extra spring supports. Your car was not designed to tow 2000 lbs. Why risk damage?
 
Also, isn't the trailer balanced? It shouldn't be pressing down on the car so much. Towing 2000 pounds and carrying 2000 pounds are completely different deals.
It seems like your cluctch/drivetrain should be overworking. Not the suspension

EDIT: The answer is yes. Some springs with a higher spring rate and/or some kinda helper springs would help.

No im saying it would never see more then 2000lbs more likely around 1000. And yeah tongue wait should be less then ten percent of trailer weight. Like I said my car bottoms out with no trailer on. Im about to roll my fender and see if that will help. If I stand on my hitch since my car is lowered the fender touches the tire. My car also was hit my some idiot in a parking lot so thats why it cuts my tire so easily
