Default Storing my Baby

Hey people! I'm heading to basic training next month and will be active army. So, I don't know how long I'm going to be storing my cherokee. I found a guy that is going to let me store my jeep in his pull barn. Its heated and has concrete floors. I'm planning to top off the tank with non-oxy premium, change the oil, stuff mothballs in the intake and exhaust and put it up on jack stands. Anyone have any other tips for me? I'd like to keep it in the great condition its in now so I can either have it shipped to my base or sell it. Thanks.

Depending on the year, drain the tank.
Plastic tank, drain it so it isn't full of crappy gas.

Add fuel stabilizer throw a battery tender on it and air the tires down to about 20psi(My dad always told me that no idea why) then just lift it up on blocks.
