If I go with 6112/5160 and leave the stock springs in the rear, will I achieve a firmer ride without lift? If not, how would I go about achieving my goal? Or am I mistaken about the Icon springs "automatically" providing additional lift?

The Icons will lift by 2" so if you don't want lift don't get them. I don't know of any stock height springs that are firmer since this would force them to be shorter and they wouldn't stay seated.
Firm up is kind of vague, firmer shocks will stop body roll and bounciness but not sag or droop under load.
Just from what you seem to be saying I'd think you would probably be happy with stiffer springs up front with adjustmable height shocks and better shocks in the rear with stock springs.
You might also consider airbags in the rear if you need some stiffness with loads and or towing.
