Exclamation Any Suggestions for storing an 05 Mustang for a year or longer?

I've been told to run the fuel down to as little as possible and add some fuel stabalizer to the tank. And I've been told to keep the car on jack stands to prevent the tires from getting a flat spot from sitting on the ground.

Any other suggestions?
Such as:
Additives for the oil, coolant, transmission?

My storage schedule is a full tank with Stabil added. Over fill the tires instead of jacking.
Change oil before storing. Definitely disconnect battery( - negative terminal).
If you think mice will be an issue... place Bounce dryer sheets in the engine bay & interior( floor & under seats)

I agree with xseler8. This is my first winter storage so I've been doing my research. Also, if your going to be parking on concrete, I would put down a tarp or something to prevent moisture from getting on the underside of the car too much.
