Spring choice for offroad bumpers
With just bumpers a medium duty spring will work. HD would be a good idea with a winch or more weight in the rear. “If” your D2 has the original springs I would not just slap a spacer in to make up for the weight. The ride is going to be terrible due to the springs already being saggy/sprung, and the added weight is just going to make it ride/drive like crap.
There is also a big difference in the steel bumpers out there: some are not much heavier than stock. Some have added nerf bars and brush guards and some are very basic. Sounds like you need standard replacement and if you need to balance out the height: there are different spring cushions and spacers available to make those adjustments.
There are a few suppliers here that offer good deals on kits and provide excellent insight on what might be necessary for your application. One advertises in the classified section with daily deals and will often list a 2" medium duty kit at an excellent price.

I am a big supporter of real suspension lifts.
