shocking or what

I have a 2000 7.3l excursion and do a lot of road driving and occasionally haul a 28' travel trailer. I don't want a stiff ride but don't expect it to not feel like a truck. I have a question about shocks or springs. When I go over speed bumps at over 20 mph or off a curb sometimes the springs bottom out. My mechanic commented that the spring stops are shot. It has 150,000 KM on it so I don't think that the springs are worn out and it has not been used for off road. Would a set of Rancho shocks or procomp help to stop the sudden pressure on the spring from causing some bottoming out?

Common issue and shocks won't help as they are not helper springs. Time to do something about the springs.
