Lowered Truck Problems

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem with their lowered trucks. My '69 C10 is lowered 2" Front & 3" Rear with drop coil springs. I have 1.50" wheel adapters on the rear axle to push the rear tires (235/75/R16 all around) out away from the inner fender. The problem I have is that occasionally (on pot holes, bumps in road, etc.) it feels like the shocks are bottoming out. I replaced my shocks a year ago, front & rear, with new ones. Do I maybe need some type of drop shocks for lowered trucks? Any help would be appreciated.
