Well I Measured the distance from the axle to the cab mount for you but unfortunately I measured from the 3/4 ton mounts and not the 1/2 mounts and the 3/4 ton mounts look a little wider, sorry. It was close to 56" like you said but we moved my axle back a little to split the differenced between the wheelbase at ride hieght and laying out. My lower links are about 35-3/8" from bolt center to bolt center. that may change when the pinion is completely dialed with a driveshaft in it.
