Default S60 swap...what am i forgeting ?

so im about to start the swap for the 10 bolt to my dana 60. Im just wanted advise from those who have already done this or other axle swaps if im missing anything or should do anythuing while its out here's the list so far....

braided brake lines
DOT 4? fluid
adj. panhard
new moog LCA bushings
driveshaft shortened and new U joints
new poly bushing for stock TQ arm(ran out of money)
flush tranny fluid(M6)

I just put on new rotors and pads a few weeks back,lowered the car and Spohn sway bar set also

and any advise to make things smooth would be great this is a driveway swap....no lift

mine went in super easy in my garage and i did it by myself as well......just jack up one side with a jack and put a jackstand underneath it when you get it high enough and then do the same with the other side until it's where you need it.....i didn't replace brake lines or anything like that but it only took me 1-2 hours by myself adding a BMR torque arm and relocation crossmember as well

the reason im doing all the other stuff is i know it will sit for at least 2 or 3 days because i have to get the driveshaft cut locally..........
