If I Owned a TJ or LJ I might do this. Not having a sight tube is a disadvantage though.
Those fans are expensiveeee!!!

Overheating issues on the trail are not fun, ask me how I know! I added a high CFM Spal to my TJ with a LS3 that was running hot, with a new shroud. Made all the difference in the world.
What shroud did you use? I don't even think there is room for a shroud.
What about this 3000 cfm flex A Lite fan? Our winter season last from November to may. Do I really need a $400+ fan?

That radiator has a shroud already, mine did not... just a fan attached to the radiator. I added a shroud and a big Spal and now it stays nice and cool.
I'd upgrade your fan if the one it comes with is known to be an issue, bolt it to the shroud on that radiator.
I had to buy a low-profile fan to fit mine, so it was even more $$$$.

I run that exact radiator and fan and have yet to have a cooling problem.

I should add that I have no barrier between my engine bay and the wheel wells and no A/C and I have hood vents. So my whole engine bay is basically open

It's a decent brand, moves a ton of air so those are good... but you want a puller, not a pusher since your fan will be mounted behind the radiator.

This one moves more air but is obviously not suitable for our use.
This one is a puller. Cost less then the pusher. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/flx-105390

Here's the 16" Spal fan I used, it's rated for 2000 CFM, has a low-profile motor and it's a straight blade puller. It's not too expensive, but it is loud like @UNSTUCK mentioned... I should see if I can get a curved, replacement fan blade for it.
