I've got a 99 5.2l 4x4 with 31x10.5 goodyears, and I've had no problem
outrunning Jeep GCs. It must be the gears...I'm running 3.92:1's.
Would a 1" greater diam tire have that much effect? (32 vs 31).

=>Change your gears to 4.10:1 with the oversized tires you're running and
=>you'll notice that you can still "spank" the Jeep.
