New U bolts and nuts for the flip kit.
Since you appear to not be installing a notch, shorter bumper for the rear.
Clean and pack, or just replace, the front wheel bearings.
Spring bushings for the rear.
Every time I pull a caliper I have a brake hose fail (then again It's usually rust, from the beautiful Michigan road salt). Since you'll probably have to do some minor rerouting of the hoses, why not install new hoses, and put in some 1 man bleeders and some rubber caps for them?
