IF your going to trim, just trim enough to fit the tires and get some sway bar disconnects, should work good enough for ya.

Here are three tech articles I have written that if you put them all together, I think they will help you out tremendously, although the fender trimming may be a bit of overkill for just 31's, but so are YJ/TJ flares.

after reading gottabejeeps articles i may go that route but does the 2nd main leaf cure the axle wrap associated with bigger tires?
