Welcome to the land of the ZJ. I have 31's fitted to my Laredo and you don't need a huge lift
I coiled spaced mine by 50mm, washered the steering stops, trimmed a smidge off the front guard plastic inside the wheel well and that's about it! Oh - and upped the bump stopps by 50mm as well.

However I will not go disco'd as that could be a disaster on the interior of the wheel wells.

I have not changed ratios as I have two sets of wheels/tyres. The Laredo 15" get the road tyres and I have a set of Wrangler steel rims for the 31's. There is a difference in power on the 31's on-road but it's hardly a problem off-road.

Have had a few miles of off-road fun with this set-up. However it will never be as capable as Lexx's TJ!
(and I have way too much to do on the full size!)

Just add "enjoy"! Hope you guys post some pictures soonish..
