19years old, 5'6, 33in inseam, ~18inch spine, dad 5'11(same inseam as me), mom 5'2. what are the chances of me growing 3-5 inches?

Almost nil: You are too old to grow more now. Your height is based on genetics and a lifetime of proper nutrition and exercise. Based on your mom and dad's height, you are right where you should be genetically. If you are lucky, you may grow less than an inch but no way at all you will grow 3-5 inches. That is impossible.
