with the number of shady businesses making parts and shops doing hack jobs I wanted to give tips to the newbies so they don't have to learn things the hard way.
Shops
Before you pick a shop do some checking. Get referances from others. Go to the shop and check things out look at the work, rember the trucks that are there, go back a few weeks later and see how many trucks are still there from your first visit. If nothing has left the shop or little progress has been made find another shop.
If a shop wants you to sign a release or wavier find another shop.
Don't go to a shop because they have the lowest price.
talk to the guys at the shop to make sure they understand exactly what you want/expect.
Get them to put things in writing.
Parts
Stay away from AIM, Chasis Tech, Rickyracer or anyother company associated with them.
Most of the time cheap parts aren't a bargan, they're just cheap.
You want to use parts from Belltech, DJM, Western Chasis, Hotchkins, Air Ride Tech., or Air Lift.

Feel free to add any helpfull info.
