The package RawLineEdit is pretty good for this. It toggles on-and-off a mode where you view and can edit line endings by selecting Raw Line Edit: Toggle from the Sublime ctrlshiftp command prompt.

It's also very useful for seeing (and editing) if you've ended up with crlf problems, with windows-style cr carriage return characters getting mixed up with the standard lf line end characters shown as ¬:
