Neither. That's a clearance problem, not a spring/damper rate problem. New shocks/springs might decrease the times it happens, but they won't stop it from happening. You either need to limit the travel of the axle to not come up into the exhaust pipes, or move the exhaust pipes out of the travel of the axle.

That sounds way to close to the axle to me. The exhaust shouldn't be "centered", it should be hugging the body.

You can always dump the exhaust before the axle; that might be the cheapest/easiest way to resolve this.
