Did you read the first post? He doesn't want to have to mess with the drive lines, and he wants to run 30s or 31s.

i had 32's on no lift and stock backspaced rims. it looked funny but worked.
i'm not gonna vote on this cause i dont like either option, but i would do the 3" lift, lockers, frame stiffeners, and look on CL for tires and rims like previously mentioned.

edit: and i would actually find out what your local law REALLY states about flares and such, like how far over the tire, and how far down your coverage has to be. I know its different someplaces...here its max 3/4" showing, and the flare has to extend down the backside of the tire to the centerline of the wheel...armed with what the law ACTUALLY says may help your decision on trimming.

I'd say option 2. If you go with option 1 you won't be happy with it and then you'll never get your cash back out of it.
