It seemed to me there was a little up/down adjustment for bumper alignment that may allow you to compensate for extra thickness of the JKS bracket. you can see the front bumper rock at 41:45 on the video. IDK for sure. I would try it...then panic.
I don't have the JKS kit. This video has a detailed install and I took a screen shot of the bolt length and approx. time so you could look. Maybe it helps, maybe not.

Was at the dealership today and saw a matte Black Mustang. It looks awesome.
Wonder if they do this from the factory for the Bronco? seems Pricey from Ford, but no idea what this would cost aftermarket.
Having survived 3 kids now in their 20s, My only advice would be to get a dual channel dashcam that uplinks their videos to the cloud - review the videos with them, much like a debrief of their driving. Plus when something happens you have more than a "he said she said" trail of evidence. It's...
trying for stock height - I have 2.3/2 door, so will find out.
edit - picture post shock and winch install w/ stock eibach springs. 2.3 (out of the box) on front and adjusted all the way low rear. 40 miles on Bronco. gonna put a couple hundred on it and then tweak.
Any chance your dealer can help? If you have a good owner of the dealership where you got your Bronco, they might be able to pull some strings, esp. if you have bought several vehicles there. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar approach.
Or.... buy the cheapest 23 Bronco that...
After installing the winch I realized that the Bronco has 4 different heights at the four wheels. Right side is a half inch higher than the left and the front is now 1 and 7/8 inches lower than the rear. At 40k, so I got Eibach 2.0 adjustable coilovers....This winch is starting to cost me real...

The winch Ford sells us is the same, but I think and it was pointed out here by someone else that the Ford performance battery terminals have a 90 degree bend in them so they hook up to the battery terminals easier plus the 10mm bolts are supplied. Warn's version doesn't have that.
So, they...
This video shows you how to disassemble the bumper to remove sensors.

if you lay the parts out like Tonka Bronka did and print the instructions - you'll be fine.
Rough Country - also get one of these if you don't have one for the sensor holes. The rough country stuff I ordered includes two sensor brackets that work on round holes - the factory ones are not circular.
That might be part of the problem - the kit doesn't relocate the sensors - it just turns them off. I'm relocating them and basically disassembled the bumper adding a couple of steps.
Having said that I'm below average with tools and the installation, if you have a helper, is not difficult. I am...
Do you have parking sensors and Adaptive cruise? It adds a couple steps and you might need to relocate sensors... I'm in the process of installing now and am waiting on parking sensor extensions.
