Stinger measurements? Since someone backed into my jeep

Hey all last week sometime somebody backed into the front of my jeep and bent the bull bar on my steel bumper. I was parked on the side of the road and I figure somebody tried back in and tried to park in front of me and accidentally bumped the front..... not happy about it but glad I had a steel bumper that's for sure.

But with the background out of the way I am considering grinding off the bull bar as it's slightly bent and welding some 1 3/4" .250 wall DOM in a stinger.

so I was wondering if anyone has a measurement for a stinger height and distance from where it's welded to the bumper so so I have a general idea what a decent height is and don't go too much ha ha.

Here's a picture so everyone can see!

Do you have any other photos?
I'm curious how bent it is.
I smash my stinger off shit all the time (parking garage walls, tree's etc) and it hasn't bent.
They must have seriously backed into you lol

I don't have anymore on my phone, but this bull bar is more for looks it was only 1/8th wall so i imagine it wouldn't have taken much the bumper itself is 1/4" steel and is fine. The bullbar is bent back about 1/2"-3/4" compared to the other side. And there's no gusset on the other side so I'm not surprised it bent at all
