Changed oil - stiffer but still bottoms out easily

Changed fork oil to Maxima 15WT... it's significantly thicker, it has a nice orange color (vs. the original black in picture). On small bumps it does feel stiffer, but at a any medium bump or small jump it'll bottom out. I know I could add pre-load but it's way too soft for mid-enduro.

So, I want to change springs, or the entire forks... any recommendations?
Race Tech? another less expensive place?
The bars are about 910mm long, 51mm top diameter.

Also, how do I measure the current spring strength? Perhaps I could put my weight after I remove it from the bike and measure how much it commpreses... then calculate in/lbs? any tips?
