Should I replace rear springs when replacing shocks? (850Wagon) 850 1995

I am already planning on replacing the rear shocks. Last summer I had to replace the rear shock mounts because they were both completely shot and poking against the bottom of the wagon interior floor, so I know how to do everything on the rear. I think it was because I had it overloaded w/o the overload springs when I drove from Seattle to New Jersey. I am now looking at making the same trip next month and don't want the same problem.

I purchased the IPD overload springs and Bilstein heavy duty shocks for the rear, and Bilstein heavy duty struts for the front as well. I'll do the rears myself, but I am not sure if I'll do the front or take it someplace.
