What else to replace when intake manifold is off?

Hello,
I am going to fix the flaps on my son's 2007 E350. While the intake is off, what maintenance or replacements should I do because of the access that I will have? I really appreciate the advice.

that's a really wise question to save needless repeat steps !
  1. PCV + discharge pipe
  2. camshafts rear plugs
  3. Cam sensors
  4. ignition plugs + boots + (coils)
  5. air filter
  6. (CKP?)
  7. cabin heater hoses
  8. thermostat
  9. serpentine belt kit
  10. ...
Then you can do simple maintenance on:
  • suspensions,
  • brakes,
  • electricals,
  • coolant,
  • ...
