What size tires are you running on the back? That 215 will be really narrow.
I am running 275/60 on the back of my Blazer and 255/60 on the front. I plan on changing the front to 235/70 which is around the same diameter as the 275/60.
I plan on the same combo for my crew.

The plug is different. It has to do with the year, and not the options though. My crew is an '87 and used the same as what your '81 has (99% sure). My crew had single lights and I used the plug from an '85.
You will need to plug for your '81 and splice it into the '91 harness. It isn't too complicated but there is one issue; I think it has to do with there being an extra light in the blinker housing (that doesn't blink). I forgot exactly how I did it, but it wasn't a huge issue.
I promised another member I would get pictures of the harness but have been too busy to get that done. Will try in the next few days.
