I have 4 leaf reverse eye springs from M+.  They have worked just fine for 20 years.  No idea where they were made.

M+ has always had very good quality parts, but my car has had little done to it in the last few years, so I do not know about their current equipment.  Their tech support used to be pretty good.  Call them.
 

Eaton springs from NPD. Made in USA and can get the ride height you want.

Blocks are a terrible idea for two reasons.  One they move the axle upwards, which is why you are bottoming out so much; you've reduced the available suspension travel without stiffening the spring. 

Two they increase axle wrap on hard acceleration.  The axle is now siting atop a lever instead of directly on the spring.

I would get a set of 4.5 or 5 leaf springs with the reverse or mid eye to set ride height and stiffen it enough to prevent bottoming with the reduced suspension travel.  I've used Eaton springs for years and always been satisfied. 

Do the 1/2 leaf trick I talked about in another post. Raises you up about 1" and doesn't destroy your ride.

I GUESS I WILL GET THE REVERSE EYE 5 LEAF SPRINGS JEG'S SELLS I BELEIVE SCOTT DRAKE MAKES THEM.

TKOPERFORMANCE IS THE SCOTT DRAAKE SPRINGS ANY GOOD?

I bought Grab-A-tracks from Mustang Plus, there only mid eye but I like them and they dont bottom out with the trunk full of goods from the wife. 

THE SPRINGS THAT ARE ON IT NOW WERE BOUGHT AT MUSTANGSUNLIMITED ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO CHEAPEST ONES THEY HAD AND 2 INCH LOWERING BLOCKS....THE ONES I AM GETTING WITHOUT THE BLOCKS HAVE TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT LOL

If they are made by Eaton yes, if made in China, I doubt it!

Scott Drake just has a mediocre reputation anymore.  When I started in the hobby Scott Drake stuff was the best there was.  Then the actual Scott Drake sold his company and the new owner just wanted the name because it was associated with quality.  They set about expanding the product line with a lot of stuff that was built with nowhere near the quality of the original Scott Drake stuff.  This basically trashed any good name Scott Drake once had.  Now I find their stuff to be hit or miss.  Some stuff is exactly what you would have expected 20 years ago, first rate quality.  Some is the same made in China crap other sell, but sold at a premium because it has "Scott Drake" on it.  I can't comment on their springs because I have no first hand experience.  I've just learned to be cautious of anything labeled Scott Drake. 
 

I ORDERED A SET OF BILSTEINS FOR THE REAR TOO.
 

Seems Opentracker has them:
