i want to do a SOA but i heard i may need longer brake lines and drive shaft. Is that true? If so what should i get and is there any thing that i am missing? i have a 95 YJ 2.5l 4cyl

I think you are going to hate the unloading/axlewrap that you are going to get with the revolvers/soa setup. I thinnk you need to do a bit more research before thinking about going SOA, but thats just my opinion. If you are only running 33's, in my opinion, SOA is unnecessary.

Why are you worried about needing to buy longer brake lines??
Are you worried financially?? Or just worried about the extra work?
Yeah - You will need longer brake lines ESPECIALLY if you run revolvers. You'll need SYE kit, new rear driveshaft, longer shocks.... Along with anything else you'll need to *fine tune* the driving characteristics after you're done (axle wrap, steering issues, bump steer, death wobble, driveline vibrations)

do a search on SOA. joe dillard has put up an excellent list many times on everything that was used to do his. it is very complete. i know i referred to i t many times when doing my axle swap while trying to get everything around so it could all be done at once w/out 50 trips to the shop to pick up more parts. as for steering, i just got some ready to tap tubing from the local race car shop, some 3/4" heims, and drilled out my knuckles and pitman arm (PITA) to 3/4" and bolted it up. took about 45 minutes including cutting to lenght (chop saw), tapping (freind has right and left hand taps for his UMP MOD), and bolting it up. i think my brakelines cost me right at $90 for all three. i'm not sure, but with SOA, and revolvers, you may be looking at big bucks for a high angle rear driveshaft. i think a friend of mine paid right at $700 for his. you'll probably have too much droop for a regular shaft. i may be speaking out my ass on that one though, as i have no real experience with revolvers, other than seeing my friend's mall cruiser have em (his does ride REALLY nice with em though).
