Installing a 2" Mopar lift soon and also a new steel bumper and winch. Thinking about getting some 1/2" spacers for the front to counteract the winch/bumper weight. Thoughts?

What you want are stronger springs. The spacers will cure the droopy look, but won't address any underlying issue with the springs being too soft for the load.

I doubt that 1/2” will do it. On my 2014 JK it dropped a good 1 1/2” when I put mt stubby bumper and winch on. Bumper, winch, grille protector hoop, d rings weighed in at 165#. I’d go 1 1/2”
