Default Dimensions for Stinger

Hey guys, im looking for a few dimensions of a basic stinger front bumper for a 94 cherokee. Such as tubing dimension, thickness, good length for a stinger & dimension for distance from grill to top of stinger. Any help for fabricating this would be awesome. It wouldnt let me post in the "fabrication" section so i apologize. Im looking for more of the looks then strength.

I'm thinking no less than 12 feet would work great.

I like the look of a squared off stinger better. But don't go too crazy. I'd go just a few inches above the hood so if you flopped it wouldn't destroy your hood and header panel.

1.75" .120 wall dom
Width and height are personal preference, for me a couple inches above the grill and the top about 9" out from the grill is where I'd put it

^This. Best info given by what we have to go on. Are you adding on to an existing bumper, or fabbing one from scratch? Do you have or have access to a bender? What die does the bender have? A lot of unknowns to give you a straight answer. If you are planning to build a complete bumper, mock one up out of cardboard/foam rubber first, it may take a little ingenuity and time, but you can set it up the way you like it from the start, and if you don't like it, you can change it out until you do, and then you have all your dimensions and angles before you start cutting metal. Steel is 'spensive.

Ok well im fabbing one from scratch with my neighbor that owns an iron woking company. He has all the bending equiptment, cutting stuff & all types of welders. So basically i just wanted like some average specs. Were building a whole new bumper so as far as bunper design it will be easy but i just wanted to know if there was any specific specs for creating the stinger. When you buy em how thick of tubing is it usually? Then height i guess is personal pref but how far out would i go. I guess 9" is what itll be
