The only issue some guys run into with fenderwell exit headers is their tires will rub them and reduce turning radius. This really has to do with the configuration of the truck in terms of tire size and lift (if any). I don't have any issues with them rubbing because of my lift. I know there are some guys running them that had to turn out their steering stops a bit to keep the tire from touching at full turn. If you keep the plastic fender liner you'd probably need to trim it back so it doesn't melt. That's about it though. I like not having any of that junk between the frame rails. It makes work on the truck 10X easier than it was before.
