may seem a bit out of place, but inspect the interior seams of your ruck. Check the stress points - at the lower frame straps and the top frame envelope.
Do a surface check fo abrasions or holes that shouldnt be there. check the buckles for bends or cracks.
Check the QR buckles on the shoulder straps too.
While you humpin all this gear, you really dont want the bag itself blowing out on you.
Keep heavier stuff closer to your center of gravity - and do make SURE that the pack is load balanced before putting it on.
