I installed 2" lift up front with adjustable track bar and upper and lower control arms on my 1988 MJ.
The adjustable control arms are not needed with a 2" lift but it was the fastest way to replace the old bushings.
All suspension and steering items have been replaced including the steering box. 38 years is a long time!
Went with a 265/75/16" Nitto Ridge Grapler AT and put 1.5" wheel spacers in the rear to match the front.
No clearance issues in the front with this size tire. Next is to Fluid Film every inch under it to keep it rust free.
