The radiator is plenty big enough standard. Add a Vitara viscous fan to improve cooling. Otherwise just ensure your cooling system is in good condition.

Good flush, check all hoses and replace where needed, add new thermostat and make sure your temp gauage works!!
I ran a secondary guage just to be sure.

Yep- that's not a fix, it's a band aid. Given time you'll find the source of the real problem.
