I flipped my rear springs and now my driveshaft and rubber brake line are too short. Anyone know of a FAST place to get these done? Need to be finished by Friday night!
Need a driveshaft shop and a place to get a custom rubber brake line. ASAP.

Mesa Driveshaft has always worked well for me.

On the brake lines, it depends on what is on your rig. IIRC they changed 9mm to 10mm about when your rig was made? If they are 10mm, there are more options, a common one is for a late 80's Nissan "Hard body" pickup (87?) it's 22" long, NAPA Part #38009, Raybestos Part #BH38009. If push comes to shove, you can just get another stock line and screw them together.

I had actually thought of the 2 brake lines screwed together option but then inkpot hooked me up with the 38009 part number 
Thanks John! called NAPA picking it up tonight.
The driveshaft shop I had forgotten that I used these guys before:
Arizona Drivelines - toyota drive shafts, suzuki drive shaft,blazer driveshaft, Chevy / Ford / Dodge drive shafts - Jeep CJ / YJ / TJ/ XJ / KJ drive shafts,Bronco II drive shaft,toyota driveshafts,bronco drive shafts,land rover drive shaft,superduty
for my 4Runner and they did great work. Over on 25th Ave and Buckeye across from the Holsum bread bakery. Went ahead and upgraded to a double-cardan joint with a long travel slip yoke
picking it up tomorrow afternoon.
Oh and they had this little number in the parking lot... (crappy cell phone pic)
It can be yours for just $6000 OBO

It's not exactly in the center, and I know the axle will move back during compression, so I'm anticipating Mr. Sawzall to be employed shortly. Kind of what I've been planning all along.

Are you going to go with the longer TJ flares?

It's just... you know... something horrible horribly WRONG about putting parts from a Jeep on a Land Cruiser. Diminishes it somehow. But... 
Could just cut the fenders, something like this:
