I'm not sure what the recommended limit is for those particular springs, but I wouldn't put them in if they are not recommended for a certain lift, regardless of how high I would rev it. What is the max lift for those spring anyways?

If the factory says .530 max and you will be running a .560 lift I think that is pushing it a bit too much. That's just my opinion and I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in. I think you'll be changing your springs out a little sooner with that lift.
