Obv this is a missed c/r on 4th. Since there is a double bet allowed with a pair should I just lead for double?

TLR is an unknown quantity at this point

I would bet normal on 4th, simply due to the size of the field

I think it depends on the situation. Who your opponent is, how strong his board is (Chip Reese actually recommends betting trips when your opponent's board is weak and checking when it's strong, because this is how you would play when you only had a pair, but some of his advice is probably more concerned with how to play against strong players), how many players are in the pot and other factors.

In this situation I would lead out simply because no one is folding, and someone may even raise you. You want to get as many bets in the pot as possible here, regardless of whether or not it telegraphs the strength of your hand (the player with the possible flush draw may even incorrectly chase for multiple bets on 4th if it gets raised and reraised behind him). Check-raising is actually quite bad because the most likely bettor is to your left, meaning you risk needlessly knocking players out.

Also, you need to consider if your strength is hidden. A paired door card is going to scare a lot of one pair hands. I would lead out for the double bet here, particularly since this pot is already pretty big.
