Default Hanson Stubby Stinger

I recently installed the Hanson stubby stinger. Nice looking bumper and quality is top notch. Also have their skid but need to drill a hole on the passenger side cross member.

Default bumpers

I have a shorty Teraflex bumper on front and a Hanson on the rear. It realy depends on what you are doing , and looking for. I like rocks and a shorty front bumper gives you access to the tires without having a bumper in the way and to smash into.I also wanted a winch mount that was low to not restrict airflow to the radiator and a place to mount D rings. As far as the rear bumper the hanson is really well made , can fit a 37 " tire with no problems , no rattling and the receiver is mounted a little higher as not to drag on the ground during steep hill climbs.

I elected to not get the Hanson shorty front bumper because of the factory lights are so close together that the winch mount has to be higher , therefor blocking more of the radiator. please see above pic. in the other posting of Hanson front bumper. I chose the Teraflex because the factory lights are mounted further apart , and the winch sits alot lower. also helps with center of grvity!

Very nice. The Hanson bumpers look really good. I'm surprised you don't see more of them on the forum..
