Coil-over shocks/suspension question

Just at 1st glance it looks as though the Springs have been "Cut" for Lowering purposes no my 72 GMC.
I measure about 3" clearance between the bottom of the Front Bumper and the ground, and a little less from (what I call) the "A" arm in Front.
So I don't mind the ride (well kinda), but I'm more concerned about the Springs/Suspension "Bottoming Out". I was wondering what you all thought of going to a real stiff "Coil-Over" shock in the Rear and something Ultra Stiff in the Front.
Like I said the rides fine, but I dont want to put any undo stress on the Suspension until I can better afford to take care/rebuild it.
Any Thoughts/Experiences with YOUR Ride ect, would be GREATLY APPRECIATED...(and fun to read too)!
