The shocks that are on it now are completely shot. Any bump will result in the shocks bottoming out with only 1 person.
We wanna go riding this weekend so we're gonna rip some good shocks off a complete parts bike I got and use those.
Gods bless the parts bikes!!!!!! 
I think bottoming is likely more a function of the spring being sacked. My understanding is on a
stock shock there is little oil dampening occurring on compression. THe spring is it.
THe oil dampening occurs mainly on rebound. If that is shot what you will get is pogoing, The spring rebounds without control. With the shock off, and the spring off, give it the push pull test. Likely not much resistance on compression, but should be good firm resistance when you pull out, listen for the oil flow, smooth or not. If the pull test is good, you may just need springs.
THis is not true on higher level shocks which do have oil dampening in both directions.
