Has anyone used a Smittybilt front bumper with the stinger that's welded on? Does the stinger get in the way and are they strong?

Nice pic, I can weld my own gussets in no problem, but my biggest thing is, does it get in the way when working on it since its welded on, didn't know if I should look for one like EVO 1/4 pounder since I could remove the stinger. I'm trying to get it ready for next summer for my Tennessee trip.

My old smittybilt bumper is very strong however the new ones are nothing like the old ones. I would spend a little more money on something quality.

It does not get in the way. I've done plenty of wrenching and never had issues with the stinger.

I know a lot of people don't like Smittybilt since it moved to China, I could see where they would get weaker since moving there, its a 250 dollar bumper that I can strengthen up myself but are they so weak that there not worth try to mod

Love my Smittybilt front bumper/stinger. Does not get in the way and helps determine distance from objects in front of you.
Nice rig, thanks for the input

I'm not going to be do major wheeling, just need some protection on trails and thought its was a good deal

It is a great deal just as long as you don't put it into a big rock. Then it will just be a $300 mistake. It might be worth spending a little more just for the safety factor on the streets .
