I have the csf 3 row radiator and it's awesome. I was trying to decide between the 2 row and the 3 row but eventually settled on the 3 row

Looking nice! how are you doing with the lift and lack of sye with the 242? any vibes?

Thanks man! actually im glad someone asked, i did a 3 inch lift, NO SYE, NO TC drop and have NO VIBES. i must have gotten lucky, but i do know that my u joints and drivshafts need some TLC. However since i have no vibes im thinking of going up another inch and dropping the tc an inch, theoretically that woould leave me with the same driveline angles right??

i have heard so many good things about the CSF 2 and 3 row, but ive heard so many bad things too, but i think im biting the bullet on the 2 row tonight.

Sounds ok, I guess someone in the know will be along shortly

Shame there aren't many sye options, i'll be putting a lift on soon and don't think i'll be fortunate enough to avoid vibes.

i agree, wish there were more options other than the hack and tap for the 242. but there isnt haha. And i swore up and down, that with the luck ive had with my xj, that i would have vibes, but sure enough...nothing.

I run 5.5"s of lift on mine with just a hack and tap and a 4 degree shim in the back and it does pretty good. Sometimes I get some vibes between 50-60 mph but for the most part not too bad. I was thinking of doing a 1" t/c drop to see if it all goes away, and get rid of the rear sway bar, it does nothing for the ride if everything else is in good shape. I took mine off and never noticed a diff., but with the front off its like taking a rowboat on the atlantic ocean Nice build so far, and I like that color.

Thanks for the reassurance on removing the rear sway bar, im going to do it as soon as i can get away from work and the computer lol. if ive got no vibes now do you think if i got 1" shackles and coil spacers, then did a 1" tc drop, id have any ill effects? And thanks!!

Nice build so far. Wish I had to the money to do everything you've done so far. I will next summer though!

What bad things have you heard about the CSF radiators? I have the the three row that I put in when the last one started leaking. I also upgraded/ replaced everything in cooling system including a Flowkooler water pump, and I'm running at about 205* unless I'm pushing the Jeep hard offroad. Nice build by the way.

jibbsnow420

just multiple stories of them leaking within the first year, but im not worried, im still taking the plunge on the 2 row, also upgrading to a flowkooler, and new hoses and thermostat and such. And thanks, means a lot!

another inch prob wont hurt do the bump in height and see what you get if you need it do the t/c drop good luck with it

okay, so i wheeled this weekend, jeep did great, nothing too serious, but i had tons of fun with my buddy in his stock 89 two door. Start the jeep this morning and i see i nice puddle of coolant under the plastic tank attached to the radiator, so i let it run for a little to try and find the leak. AWESOME NEWS!!!!!!!
im 99% sure my radiator is fine, that upper radiator hose i replaced was just leaking coolant at both ends, dripping down the plastic tank and i though i had a cracked tank like the million other stories. long story short i now am using all the money i was going to use to upgrade my cooling system on new tires from treadwright. winning.

well i decided to wait on tires and am now on day two of my 6 week wait for my detours tailbone. this thing is badass, cant wait to install it.
