Keep the gear down. If not down extend them.

Consider burning off fuel and using the full length of the runway. Reason behind burning fuel is that you're gonna be coming with a lower speed.

For example,

VLS= 140 knots

kinetic enery of the airplane is 1/2 mV square
= 1/2 66,000 x (140x1.852) square = 2,218,461,907.2 joules


reduction of weight by 4 tons and speed by 5 knots

1/2 62,000 x (135x1.852) square = 1,937,810,012.4


Also, full lenght of runway must be used and reversers for breaking. Hope it helps. Cheers.
