Will 31"x12.5" Fit

I am wondering if the 31"x12.5" tire will fit my '97 with a TT/Shackle lift. What about with a 2 inch body lift?

Height-wise no problem. You will have big problems with the 12.50's rubbing when you turn the wheels. You're gonna need 4-6" of lift to get a tire that wide clear, unless you start on your truck with a sawzall...
