Respectfully, if the sting was not as thick and overbearing looking, I would vote sting. But, you barely notice your bumper with that particular sting. This of course is my humble opinion

I am actually not a fan of the looks of stingers. I like that bumper. My JL is coming soon and I want a winch and blue ox tow bar brackets to the frame so I am limited on bumpers I can get because I have to get one with frame bolts on the outside and have not really liked anything I can find.

My sting isn't even a real sting. I don't think it would stop a forward roll. But if I drive 1 mile in any direction I will see 5-30 deer. Sorry Bambi. I do my best, but you aren't coming through my windshield. The other nice thing is that it lines smack up with the farthest forward part of the bumper so it's a good park aid.
EDIT: That’s the wrong picture but I'm leaving it there anyway.

Well not as easy as you think.
Help me decide!
The Stinger is a tool and it serves a purpose. When you are in the rocks and go down on STEEP slopes you have the chance to going nose over lid down without a Stinger, Stinger forces your Jeep to roll off to the side, saving you nose/radiator/top and your butt!
Here the stinger on my Rock rig, this is my design, it is incredibly strong. How strong. Hit a 92 Caddy rear quarter panel at 55 mph, never got my foot on the brake, the ran a red light and hit that caddy hard enough to total it. Damage to my Stinger? .97 cents, Wal Mart Semi-Gloss black paint.
NOTE:
Roll bar just over the top of the radiator
Stinger 4 in above roll bar
Stinger braced not against the roll bar like many, but vertically, keep the torque form an event from pushing the roll bar back into the grille and radiator
Down at the bottom ¼ in plate brace and welding, same goes for the triangle brace and welded, braces are ¼ in and tubing is .120 wall
I did the design and the welding in my shop.
