Because of the narrow OEM wheel some people get minor rubbing on the frame at full steering lock. You may also have to trim a little bit of plastic off the front bumper's lower plastic valance. I've seen the aftermarket torsion bar keys, but I'm not a fan of them. Some people say you should not crank the stock adjustment keys all the way up but most people don't seem to have any problems after doing this. However, I don't think I would put any more preload on them than what you can with the stock adjustment keys.
