Recommended bidding sequence:

pass.

3ª = 6+ suit, forcing game. It would not be smart to use the jump shift to show 12+ hcp, and only 5 spades. In that case, North should use the negative double, since 2ª shows 5+ suit with only 8-11 hcp.
4© = Cuebid to show ª-fit and interest in slam.
4NT = RKCB.
5ª = 2 or 5 aces ánd queen of trumps.

Discussion to follow.
