moving stearing box forward to clear tierods

Unbolt it from the frame and shove it as far forward as possible, mark the new bolt hole locations (probably need a steering box installation kit) and mount it there:

Remember once you move your steering box forward, you will have extend the steering linkage going to the steering box. I was able to get by TEMPORALLY, buy loosing the clamps under the dash and on the steering box and pulling out the rod, but it was far from safe. About a week later I ended up taking it out totally, cut in half and welded in extra peice. Now it is fit perfect and has survived a Rubicon trip..lol..

Or you can use a bolt-in steering shaft extension:

I run a 2" spacer on my '85 with the forward steering box and 3" body lift:
