The 56" springs I have are the same length as my 52" springs from the front to the center pin. The difference in length is from the center pin to the back of the spring. Check yours with a tape just to be sure. Looks like you will have to relocate the back hangers. I just put in a set of 64" springs on the back of my 70 chevy and I don't think you will have any problems installing the 56" springs on yours. If you are considering doing a shackle flip, you could always do the 56" springs too and use one of the longer shackles that are available. I'm sure that Offroad Design sells a longer shackle for that set up. I hope that answers your question.
