Installing Nivomats on your V70 would cost a lot. Two shocks @ $500, and springs @$200, plus a little welding for brackets...

I would look for a set of rear overload springs. Much cheaper would be this from IPD:

Of course, you might want to consider reducing the amount of 'stuff' you carry on road trips. If you haven't installed the 3rd row seat, make sure the heaviest stuff is in front of the rear wheels.
