I had a memeber on here refer me to Jeeptubes.com . I haven't picked up a bender yet so this is what I'd do if you wanted a stinger: I'd use one of my bumpers, order a pre-bent stinger from Jeeptubes, and charge you for the cost of stinger(plus shipping) and say maybe $20 to cut and mount it.
So with that said, a short stinger on a bumper would run approx: $200 vs. A tall stinger running approx: $215 . I know that seems kind of high but thats how it works with stuff being done out of house. I wish they were a little cheaper.
I'd also have to figure out new shipping prices since the stinger would add some bulk. If you're still interested, or know of a better place to order bent tubing, let me know.
Here is what their stingers look like. They do not come with the braces however.

Nice. Thanks. I'm looking at the standard skid for steering box, most say need to use w factory bumper. I have no idea why. I'm assuming that it has to with mounting. I'm going to be getting the Rustys version if it matters...... I just want to be sure I can use that part w ur bumper.

Should work. The bumper is notched for most aftermarket steering skids. I can't guarantee a Rusty's, but I have an EMP(Extreme Metal Products) skid and it fits like a glove. Most of the designs are all the same though; it’s just the mounting leg that would interfere with other aftermarket bumpers.
Here's what mine looks like (pictures aren't the best).
And what the notching looks like......
If you were interested in the EMP skid(cheaper and better built than Rusty's, at least in my opinion) here's the link:

Currently in the prototype stage. However this one doesn't have a home yet. Hoping to have it done by the weekend or early next week.
They'll also be available with or without the 2" reciever, corner protection, or tow points.

Just so you guys know, if you want to give your email to anyone, I would do it via PM. The last time some of us posted emails on a thread, we started getting some dude from asia or something saying he was doing a study of some sort....ah crap...I don't really remember exactly what he said, but it was weird, and annoying. Especially with all the non member lurkers, that are around all of the time. Its obviously too late now, but maybe in the future. Just trying to help you out, but its really up to you.

Well since steel prices have gone nuts, fronts are currently $130. From what I have into the rear I'd say $245 with tow points. Add a 2" reciever for $25 and corner protection(like in the picture) for $40.
The fronts I usually have a couple on hand since I build about 8 at a time (currently 2 in stock), but the rears are built one at a time and usually take 3-4 weeks (all depends on my work schedule).

I have the measurements for a CJ7 front, but still don't have measurements for a rear. A CJ front is the same as a TJ, $130. These do take a little longer to make vs the TJ bumpers since they are all hand cut. I just don't do enough CJs right now to warrent the laser cutting. However if you're still interested id gladdly make you a front.

I'll have to get back to you on the shipping. I still have no clue how much a finished rear weights.
