If reception of real channels 2 through 6 are not of interest to you, the C2 high VHF accessory element is a reasonable choice.
If you were starting from scratch, I'd suggest an Antennacraft C290, Channel Master CM-3016 or Winegard HD7010. I'm presuming that at least one of the sub-channels on KCSO, real channel 3 would be of interest, they carry Telemundo and MeTV network per rabbitears.info. The high VHF add-on element for the CS2 would not be an ideal choice for receiving real channel 3. A Winegard HD5030 will be rather bulky if you want to simply add VHF (high and low band) but keep the CS2.
I would not have suggested that you opt for a fringe area preamp that can be overloaded by strong local signals. If you are splitting to many sets or have very long cable runs I would suggest a high input preamp or quality DA.
"Pulling in" more stations is done with a larger, higher gain antenna placed so it has access to the weaker signals. A preamp is for overcoming loss in your cable and splitters that are connected on the output side of the preamp.
If the CPA-18 seems to help keep the tuner locked, that suggests quite strongly that the mounting location and/or aim of the antenna could be improved a great deal... or that there's a problem with one or more connections.
