Allis c coil spring with shock. I’m 210lbs and this spring bottoms out. What’s my solution?
Coil over shock absorber to gain more tension or is a newer coil spring stiffer.

A new shock/spring assembly will be better than what you have. That's what coil springs do over time......flatten out. If it has an slot adjustment, move it as far to the rear as possible.

I put an old air shock on the seat of my 1941 Johnny Popper. I'm about 100 lb heavier than my grandson so we can adjust it to suit our needs.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
