Do you have a fan shroud? That really makes a big difference.

Flex fans need rpm to move a good amount of air. How old is your fan clutch? From what I've read a stock fan with a good clutch should pull a lot more air, especially at idle, than a flex fan. You can also look into stock fans from other vehicles. I'm pretty sure I've read about a fan swap before where someone found a fan with more blades from a cadillac or something and swapped it in.

The fan clutch has been on the jeep since i have had it (8 years) for all i know its original.
I thought the idea of a flex fan is that it moves more air at lower rpms and less air as rpms increase and the blades flatten out?

I would really prefer to ditch the clutch. I was hoping a flex fan would be a good option but if it wont be able to do as good as the stock set up than electric would be my next choice. thanks for the advise

This is what I thought also??? Cooper has a flex fan on his jeep.

That is what I always thought too...I'll have to figure out where I had read/heard that. No it wasn't PBB...
