Many, including me, have gone lower profile to avoid air flow problems, but I’m not sure anyone has documented actual overheating.

I have 7 inch Kc’s and never noticed any temperature change. I take it if you go larger you could impede air flow over the radiator and raise temps

I have a Warn winch as well as a hoop with pod lights and I haven't experienced any temperature difference what so ever...I do live in a northern tier state and have a manual transmission...not sure about driving superhot desert conditions with a auto trans.Speaking to other Jeepers here this seems to be an overblown concern.
