I'm not going to tell I know for sure it will work but there is room behind the HD heat exchanger for a thicker radiator.

23mm is almost an inch so if the CBR splits the difference 1/2" of thickness in front and 1/2" in back it should be OK.

You would have to call CBR and ask them where there adding the inch from the OEM radiator support.

I just called CBR, who referred me to SDHQ.

Per SDHQ, there are no clearance issues.

Wow, I read in the part description that it was "custom made" so that probably explains the very high price for that CBR unit; wonder if other companies like Fluidyne might offer an aftermarket solution in the future if there's enough demand - it's nice to have options.

Yes. The radiator will bolt on nicely.. You will need to trim a little on the factory fan shroud. Don't use aftermarket fans.

Yeah some of the Raptor parts prices are really insane. You have to wonder if they are really hurting themselves at the end of the day (by discouraging people from modding these trucks).
