Default 3 row radiators.....

So I'm ordering a new radiator soon for the jeep. Apparently before I bought the jeep it was in a minor fender bender because I noticed the bottom of the radiator has been bent in a little bit and just looks messed up. No overheating yet but I live in Nevada and it’s going to hit 100 degrees soon so I want to be ready. Anyways to my question.... I know I want to get a metal radiator not a plastic OEM replacement. I’m going to order one from Radiator Barn but I'm not sure if I want a three row or two row. I recalled reading here on CF that a three row can reduce the amount of air flow circulating through the radiator..... Is this true or are three row radiators worth the extra $60.....

I would go with the CSF HD 3 row radiator from DPG. It's an all metal 3 row and I haven't heard one bad thing about them. I plan on putting one in sometime very soon.

Those do sound good, I've heard good things as well. However I have a ZJ with the 5.2 v8 and I don’t think those radiators will work/fit. I posted this question in Cherokee Tech because way more people check this section out and my question is relevant for all jeeps regarding the air flow going through the radiator.....

I would go with the CSF HD 3 row like Choo said. My buddy has it and it works extremely well. Like you said, not sue if it would work with the grand, but I'd definitely try it.
