Towing question: Hitch weight on toy haulers

These questions may sound idiotic but I've never towed more than around 5,000 #'s before.

I'm in the market for a toy hauler but the hitch weights seem to run heavier on them. The Titan manual states max 920#'s for hitch weight. If I get a trailer that has a dry hitch weight around 1,200# is there any chance it will get down to an acceptable level when I load 800#'s of sportbikes in the back? Does a good weight distributing hitch do anything to allow a heavier hitch wieght or does it just redistribute weight? Even if the weight of the toys puts me in spec I'm guessing I am in trouble when I pull the trailer without the bikes in back, probably answered my own question. Comments on helper springs and air bags appreciated.
