I'm concerned about losing cooling effectiveness with a new front bumper. 2016 2500 HD lifted 5 in and looking at Iron Cross front with wench.
I tow a 5K trailer at times, thoughts?

The radiator should be out of the way of the bumper, the only thing that would have restricted air flow would be the transmission cooler. It would be fairly straight forward to replace the original transmission cooler with one that sits up higher in the middle of the grille. I did this myself after replacing my transmission cooler lines. If you want I can send pictures.

You could just ad a secondary cooler with a fan as well, I just got a Mishimoto but haven't installed it yet. I also replaced my radiator with a Mishimoto oem replacemnt, much better cooling with even engine temps (and a lifetime warranty)
