I hate to admit it, but 30 years ago I put bolt-on leaf spring stiffeners, with
the little 3 position buttons, on my '70 2L. They stopped the bottoming out and
improved the handling. They are still on the car and working great. I know it's
sacrilege, but this cheap fix worked great for me back when money was tight!

You need to work on it :-)
Perhaps the PO installed the leafs upside down???

There's an inner boot made of rubber that provides a seal
between the passenger compartment and the outside (underside?)
There's several styles; I'm familiar with the solid rubber 'cone' and an
'accordian' one. In my experience the accordian style doesn't hold up
very well.
Here's the cone shape and some more info:
