5 is way too much IMO. Low speed handling will really suck.

Low Riders have 1.5 trees. So if you go with Wide Glide trees you'll pick up a little rake. Plenty of guys run 5 degree trees and don't die, but your loosing quite a bit of trial when you do it. I myself would go with 3 degree trees and 4 over tubes like you mentioned.
