Default Adding stinger question!

Alright so I have the upgraded front factory bumper and I'm wondering if it's possible to just add the stinger bar by itself to the bumper. Keep it mind that it's not necessarily for performance because I play college baseball and don't have much time for wheeling as it is. I'd just like a stinger and this seems like the cheaper way to go than buying a whole new front bumper.

Thanks for your help!

I'm almost positive it will fit. Most just use the factory bumper holes to mount it. So if the bolts go through the front the stinger should fit.

Yeah I don't really mind drilling out new holes either to be honest. Just concerned whether it will actually work

That's the rough country stinger bar btw. Looks like it'll mount up where the tow hooks are. Just take off the tow hooks and put the stinger on?

itll bolt right up where the stock tow hooks are, but you will need to drill and tap a few holes in the top of the bumper as well. You should throw on a set of purejeep d-ring tabs while youre at it.

Nice. I'll probably pull the trigger on this today.
