I say go with the BB cause you have it already, then when you get bored with the 31's all you will need to do is trim and throw some 33's on it and it will look just like your last rig

the BB wont mess with the drive train to much right?

I had a RE 2.5" Long AAL on my last Jeep and I needed a t-case drop. You could tell the front axle was shifted over a tad if you paid attention to it. It seemed to drive okay though.

The rain decided to hold off for a little bit, so I mounted up the front flares. I used some 3M molding tape from Auto Zone. I used a double layer of the tape and stuck it on. I ran a bead of black silicone to make things look a little better. I think I'm going to re-cut the rear part of the flare a bit more for a touch more clearance for the rear of the tire and looks. Overall, I like the look of it. The passenger side looks a bit off, but it's because the wheels aren't exactly pointed straight.

They haven't seen pavement, much less offroad yet. I've been tinkering with it and I just use the wife's car if I need to go somewhere.

You are probably right. I'm just trying to be nice about it and not debate it. Plus, I still have the rear sway bar on. If it rubs anywhere, it will be on the rear bumper end cap.
