Default backspacing with rock krawler LA?

I will be running a 5.5" rock krawler long arm lift, just wondered what backspacing I should get to avoid the tires rubbing the coils or anything?

I am thinking 4" would be plenty safe? I am getting Trailready beadlocks and they can do 3.75" backspacing to 4.5" backspacing...
thanks!

If there is rubbing I am not able to tell .... I have a few scratches on the coils but thats about it ....

I am running with 1.5" spacers now too so that may make the littlest of a difference as well. What does the lift recommend. I know RE recommended up to 4.5" with their lift.
