Hey SchickHydro!
Welcome to the forums!
Yes, you should wait till the new CL post. The old limit of 2K will still be showing till the next statement cut and reporting there of.
Good Luck with your app!
After thought: If you tell us a bit about your credit profile, we will have a better idea of your possible app results for the CSP. 
Starting Score: 642

Only real concern is your AAoA. Everything else looks good. Let the Amex report the new CL and give it a go. I think you have a good chance. How long have you had the Freedom?

Begged them to let me in when they had the $350 cashback offer so they started me off with $500, and they've been stingy with a CLI and never thought it'd be worth a hard pull for a CLI.
Typically, Amex reports within 2 days of statement cut on all CRAs. TU is sometimes a little slow on the uptake. I'd wait a good week after to be sure. That's good that you've had the Freedom for over a year. I say go for it. I think you will likely be approved with 5K limit. Good Luck!
Just out of curiosity, what is your FICO score? Sorry for the late question.

Yes, if CK shows the new CL then it has reported likely to all CRAs. CK pulls it's info from TU.
