If you look at the dial on the rear shock, there is numbers.  The
higher the number the stiffer the suspension.  When you say "bottomed
out" do you mean it's set at 1.  If it is, then turn the dial to a
higher setting to stiffen the ride.  I would go a little at a time
until you find a setting that is comfortable.
