I generally set the physical interface MTU to 9192 or whatever the 
maximum supported value is for each interface.  Then you can set the 
IP family MTU to 9000 which is a "de facto" standard for jumbo frames.  
This leaves 192 bytes of headroom for various encapsulation overhead.

set interface ge-0/0/0 mtu 9192
set interface ge-0/0/0 family inet mtu 9000
