  • Stubby bumpers allow for a large number of accessories to be mounted on the frame and add functionality to your Jeep. These provide a good amount of tire clearance and are lightweight and strong.
  • Stinger bumpers are designed to help protect the Jeep from downhill rollovers. Some other uses of this style is as a ramp that allows the Cherokee to traverse on boulders and rocks.
