Re: Huge pot, crap cards

I raised flop because I might spike a J for the win, or I will get cold callers for my flush. Do I cap river?

I see this kind of reasoning all the time. It seems like nothing more than rationalizing reckless play.
Neither of your reasons for this raise make much sense to me at all. Raising because you MIGHT spike a 3-outer--which will STILL leave you with a crappy kicker even if you're not already up against 2pr or better--is crazy.
Then you say you might get cold-callers in case your flush hits? If you want to be paid off when the flush hits, you need to call and allow everyone to stay in.
Without the flush draw this is an easy fold. With it it's an easy call. I can't see any reason whatsoever to raise here.
I wouldn't cap the river. You have the 3rd nut straight.
