I like the price of the Hell Bents and have heard lots of good things about them. But is there any difference between the steel vs. aluminum models they offer?

I've read that the steel don't tend to compress over time as the aluminum do.

ok, so like I said I'm new to this so before I went ahead and bought the kit I read the installation instructions and it talks about having to get the alignment checked every 6 months and having to re-torque everything after 1000 miles or every off road use. First, has anyone ever had problems with the alignment/uneven tire wear/ etc.? And what causes the need for a re-torque of the nuts?
