Rear Shock Replacement 1998 XC70

Looking to replace the rear shocks and was wondering if anyone has subbed the non-leveling (much less expensive) for the self-leveling type and what the results were?

I believe you need to swap shocks and springs. The Nivomats contribute some supporting force and use softer rate springs.
