Just a better angle without long arms and it will give you a little smoother ride

I have the same lift and tires that you talked about. I have about 4.5 backspacing with 10.5 inch tires and it doesn't rub at all

That might do. Does running 4.5in backspacing over 4in give me anything?

Just narrower but its not like your running full widths, I would go for wider if I was you because it will just add stability even just that little bit
