Is it ok to run 31s on my XJ for a a single 25mile trip to get to the garage where i'am putting my lift on without trimming?

Assuming you're not sagging it should be fine, but you'll want to unbolt the flares. You will rub at full turn though. Just go slow over speed bumps and the like and make wide turns and you're fine.

Should be okay, put one on and turn wheel to test, just in case.

I ran my 31" TSLs for like 5 miles before cutting fenders. got hilarious looks in parking lots when turning as the big lugs banged on the front fender (very loudly)
After trimming, the rears rub a bit under hard flex, though the outer lugs on the rears are torn up enough that I don't really care that much.
