I thought about it, but the amount needed would not gain the needed angle. So I talked to High Angle Driveline for a true high angle 1350 CV. 
Today was a surprise. Went to lunch and to talk with a shop for ideas on a clunk I've been having in the rear. I park it and look from inside and see....wtf is the running puddle on driver's side? ^smiley6
The original radiator finally let go on the side. Great timing.

I don't know what High Angle Driveline quoted you but when I got my drivelines made they were $500 each. Yep I have a $1,000 in drive shafts under my Jeep. Those 1350 CV joint shafts ain't cheap.

Yeah well the new radiator got a workout Friday on the way to the Rubicon for Saturday.
Fully loaded and 9% grade.
Took it like a champ!!
Oh yeah, Ham Bone b/c you always ask, I broke the shiz out of the sector shaft!! lol
It was related to the Bear Hit and/or the need to be dragged a few times with a strap. I got slammed a couple times with bad angles.
I used the HAM radio and had a new box delivered in ~4hrs. Swapped out and was off trail by 7pm and back to camp for a late dinner.
While waiting, the Wheelers for the Wounded of NV stopped to give me crap, some beverage, and an opportunity to thank the bad azz service wo/men. Korean Vet and WW2 Vet were quite special.
Drove home fine with a reman box from NAPA. lol

When the top hose came off my radiator, I didn't get that hot... I also had the temp warning light come on.

No joke. No temp light no blow up no smoke. It was a short duration, maybe 10 min or so. Cooled back down after the top. I wasn't pushing it. Held about 30 mph or so.
Maybe not for 10 sustained minutes. Everything this way is up the hill then back down. Repeat over and over.
I did take a full of load crusher run up to my grandma in the boonies. That had some very steep climbs.
So maybe not

I'm still on stock heads...165K and going. Both of you could better qualify your concerns (e.g., grade %, time, etc.) Otherwise just conjecture and perception. I'm certainly not advocating someone run for a long time at the temp. I'm only sharing what, from my setup, what was running.
New OEM radiator replaced and cap less than a week ago. Used 50/50 premix coolant. Dual TCP efans. My radiator has the tranny line cooler too. Tstat is the stock rating of 195F.
Last month on that grade I was not loaded as much and the max temp reached was ~220F.
