Do these cars have bumpstops in the struts? I really haven't looked that close at them but know most other cars do. I bought a low mileage side by side 10 years ago, took it out and kept bottoming out the front shocks like you. Found the bumpstops in the shocks where pounded out. I went to the junkyard, found some on the front of a newer 3/4 ton gmc truck, drilled a hole through the center and installed them where the old ones were. It decreased the amount of shock travel a bit but never bottomed out hard ever again. They're still holding up.
