Iam going to do SOA on my 71 CJ5 with some 2.5" lift YJ springs and also do shackle reversal at the same time. For the spring mounts on the frame should i buy some or build some? I know i will need brake lines drivelines spring perches maybe steering.

Where should i get the spring perches from? Also any other help you can give me.

Make your own spring mounts. You can make the shackle mounts too but I was lazy and bought those from Tomken. Perches are easy to make too. Don't forget to mount the axle forward 1" for clearance. If you don't mind the extra work you should rotate the knuckles and tip that pinion up a tad.
