For Approach angle I just head in on an angle and turn my wheel into the rock.. Easier on the frame. If your building a cage you should have a support running over the top of your header and over your cowl.. That is what hood protection is not a random bent piece of tube. If you want to look like a prerunner that's fine. Just don't try to pass it off that it dose something. Seams to make a lot of people mad that there is no use for a stinger. Sorry I use good fab skills better driving skills and god blessed me with my own object sticking out. So I don't see the point. Sorry once more to the people god hates.

I'm down with the stinger. I run one on mine that I love. Four wheeling is about freedom and expression, people who have negative opinions on what others do to their cars have problems. Live it up!

but your not seeing the point. they do have use. they arent pointless. if you want to go sideways at a ledge taller than your bumper then so be it. id do the same seeing how i dont have a stinger but it doesnt mean they are pointless. going strait at a ledge is much more stable than going sideways. and some people dont have the expierience to just throw thier rid at anything without rolling. and if you think going sideways at something is better for your so called "frame" then you didnt think that through at all. going sideways twists it.
If you think smashing a stinger/bumper connected to a so-called frame head on is less stress then putting a tire on an object and turning into it to wind up head on anyway wile allowing your suspension to soak it up first is less stress then good for you. Just because you head at an object at an angle dose not mean you have to go up it at an angle. How much did you think that through..

Guess you missed what I said. Go at an angle tire first and turn into it so when you crawl up you are straight. Then your suspension dose the twisting. Oh well someone got offended and just when it was getting fun party's over

I don't agree with some of what has been said about pros of a stinger, but the one I find most important is that it can keep you from rolling over forward. If you take a situation where a stinger stopped a rollover and try it with a no stinger bumper, you're going to end up on the roof. That's the most appealing part for me. And for a driving light hoop

If you haven't noticed most of them kill your approach angle not saying it couldn't be done better. Sorry Jbetit and phatkat. But for deer a good bumper would do the same thing.
