Default am I missing anything?

Planning to put my TF 2.5 BB on my 2012 JKU next weekend and just wanted to make sure that I'm not overlooking anything and that I have all my bases covered... I do not like unwanted surprises like missing an essential part or overlooking something obvious. Nothing like getting halfway through a project to realize that you have to put it all back together until you get an extra piece.

Here's a list of things I have:
2.5 in TF BB w/ shock extensions
5 285/70/17 Hankook Dynapro MT
AEV Procal
4 RC Wheel spacers
TF Exhaust spacer kit
TF Front sway bar discos

This will be my first vehicle that I'll have modded and I'll be turning my own wrenches with the guidance of some friends from the local 4x4 club. I'll be sure to add the appropriate pictures next weekend as the transformation takes place. Thanks for all the help

I eneded up getting some Cooper STT's because the Hankooks I wanted were unavailable...
Here's the finished product. Looks much better in person.

Looks good man... I think the STT's are better tires anyway.
