I downloaded the files linked in the return to stock thread on this forum is there something else I should do so I can get the phone back to stock in case something goes wrong? Should I be making an image of the phone somehow or is the one linked in the back to stock thread all I need? I don't really care about losing anything of the phone everything is online anyway.

The easiest way to get back to stock now that you are rooted is to do a nandroid backup of your phone through a custom recovery. You should do this before you make any changes to your phone in case something goes wrong.
