Default OR FAB or SMITTYBILT STINGER BUMPER?????

Its a toss up between the 2. Need helping deciding. Pros cons extra. Also I have a Smittybilt xrc 12,000 pound winch. If I order the Or-Fab do I get centered or uncenterd winch mount? I will be ordering by the end of the day so any inputs will help.

Have neither, but I have an OR-FAB and love it! Great service and made in the USA. You go with OR-FAB and you'll be glad you did.

Or fab. Best backed products in the industry. Outstanding design, quality, packaging, and looks. No other bumpers fit so well with the width of the grill IMO.

It's worth the wait for a made in America piece of rock solid awesomeness.

The tip of the smitty stinger has always bugged me too. Looks very chunky and out of place.

Or-Fab looks pretty rock solid and just looks plain. But I like the demensions of the Smittybilt. Not real hot on the three hole on the stinger. I hate choices sometimes!

I already have the Smittybilt bumper order since last Friday. I was thinking about changing my mind to Or-Fab. But the way my order sets right now it will leave Smittybilt's 5/16/11. Witch I don't really understand why but its whatever.
