As far as looks go, you'll for sure like the bumper better having the stinger on it. Does give me a bit more confidence as far as deer running out infront of me. As far as functionality and strength....well it has no problem supporting all 200 pounds of me lol View attachment 191337
My thoughts are the accessories for the hard rock bumpers are expensive. I'm also running a factory hard rock bumper and while I've bought a winch mount I don't think I'll be putting any more money into it. For the price of that bolt on stinger you could damn near buy a full aftermarket stubby bumper which has better clearance and more strength. I do like the look of the 10a/x/hard rock bumpers and if that's what you're going for I think the stinger looks awesome. All I'm saying is functionally there are much better options out there for the price.
