NONSTOP bottoming

I think I need more people to come in and support my shock recommendation 
Hotckis springs aren't bad springs. I really don't think changing springs will fix your problem. You have a clearance issue with something. You should figure out what that is. In the meantime, better shocks will control the impact into whatever it is you are bottoming out on. Make sure the previous owner didn't remove or cut off the rear axle bumpstops.
Strano springs are great. I have them and love them. I don't believe they will fix your problem though. You most likely have a shock dampening problem and sounds like you might have a clearance issue with something as well
Going to stock springs will lessen the need for more expensive shocks like Konis as a wider range of shocks do a pretty good job dampening them, but again I don't think just swapping them and nothing else will fix anything.

I have not bottomed out yet with my Strano setup and Koni shocks, not even driving through dips in the road or speed bumps.
I'm sure the shocks have a big part to play in that as well as the springs.
I would ask yourself which setup you really want them save up/wait to get it. It will be worth it in the end.
