Default Stinger!

Hey Everyone,
I'm looking for a "Stinger" Front Bumper, but I have some requirements. I need one that doesn't stick out a BILLION feet infront of my rig. I'd like to still be able to pull up close to people and be able to, occasionally, parallel park if ever needed. If anyone knows of any Stingers that would meet that criteria, please help me out. I've looked around and, unfortunately, the one I like most, Rugged Ridge XHD, seems to stick out VERY far and TOO far for my taste.
Thanks in advanced!

That's definitely the front-runner right now, but my best friend has the exact one on his TJ. So i've been looking for one a little different, that's the only reason I haven't purchased the Smittybilt one yet.

NICE RIG BTW!

I don't feel my LoD one sticks out too far. I am able to parallel park in most spots and pull up close. I haven't met a parking space yet where my stinger prohibited me from parking there, any space I can't park in is usually just too small for the Jeep anyways.

Right now it's coming down to the LoD and the Hanson Stubby Stinger. Thanks for the input so far!

My favorite stingers are the LoD and the Evo one. I wonder what the weight comparisons are between the LoD and the Evo? The Evo one didn't come out until after I had my LoD.

I don't feel weird about holding out for the LoD Sig stinger after reading these posts.

Of all the bumpers it always comes back to this one. I find myself ready to buy a rugged ridge or a psc or an Evo bumper, when really its only a hundred more or less for the LoD
