Your vehicle just lost control. One spring probably bounced back while the other spring was still compressed. I'm guessing you flew to the right? Best solution is just to not bottom out in the first place.
Curl those fenders for one. And watchout for bumps and dips. The next time you go to buy tires, consider a shorter tire.
I posted a solution Hotchkis gave me a while back.
Try this and see if it helps any:

You really want equal height bumpstops.
