First off, ive tried searching, but i can't find what im looking for so i started this :P

I have a 2" lift in my WT, and have a set of 31's sitting in the garage waiting for wheels to put them on.
Essentially, what needs to be cut & massaged and how much?
If im not mistaken, its just the bumper 'outriggers' (the bits of tube?) and then just attacking the seams with a hammer. Is that it or is there more? I'd really prefer to get it mostly sorted out before the tyres go on.

Thanks, Tom

Depends on how much flex you get out of the springs but yes cutting the outriggers and bashing the seams is a start

Yep, what you've said is correct.
But, without bumpstop spacing, you will need to do a virtual lift/guardchop or the tyre will rub and jam up in the guards still.

i need some bumpstop spacing - i have commo/hiace shocks. (looks like around 40-50mm in that pic, is that whats needed?)

Will that be enough? If i decide to get decent shocks in the future ill worry about the guards then.

It is 50mm yes. But, thats for other reasons. 25mm is enough for tyre clearance and to suit the shocks.
