I would look into the 56" springs on the front some more, I heard someone say that you could get axle wrap in the front with that long of a spring and that's why they went with 52"s instead.
That might be true because some people will remove up to 4 of the springs so that they can get a lot of flex out of them. I am not necessarily looking for flex so I am thinking about keeping all 8 of the leaf springs in the pack. I think that will help keep the front from sagging a lot and it will also keep from having much axle wrap. I know it may not ride the best with all 8 leafs but its a truck and I think with the weight of the cummins it will help some. The rear of my truck currently does not ride bad at all with 10 or 12 leafs and no weight on it.
