Taking my 1st towing trip.

My buddy and I are going on an 800 mile trip each way towing a lifted jeep cherokee. This is my first towing trip or any thing longer then the 100 mile range im usually in. What things do I want to go over and bring with me. I already packed the bearings on the trailer and bought new tires and wheels. I'm bringing 2 spare trailer tires and an extra set of wheel bearings for the trailer. Along with my v28 battery impact gun, sockets, high lift jack, spare battery, assorted hand tools, and my dpf for the truck. Im changing my oil before I go and air up my tires. the truck has almost 6,000 miles (yeah i have owned it a year). Is there anything else I should be doing before I go?
Thanks Kenny
