Due to the 580LP's extended arms out the back, a genuine long-barrel Floyd will fit just fine.

When ordering, you have to tell them you want the R3 nut, or they'll send you an R2. Apparently they still believe everyone uses vintage narrow-nut Fenders and Les Pauls, and have not been informed of the popularity of the R3 nut width, despite the constant barrage of "special instructions" for the R3.

However, I have yet to find a place on any online order form where you can select the correct nut width, but they'll gladly sell you one separately at extra cost, and leave you stuck with a useless R2 nut that you and 50 billion others can sell on Ebay.

Or just buy a straight up R3 OFR: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/floyd-rose-original-series-tremolo-bridge-with-r3-nut

$199 is a bit steep though, you can probably find on Reverb.com for cheaper

Yeah pretty much, just make sure you do some quick measurements first! You can find measurements of the OFR on Floyd Rose's website, then just compare that to your JT580

All Floyded Jackson production models take an R3 nut, with very few USA-made exceptions. Like 3.
