Eh, it's hard to say. I lost nothing with my OME HD lift. Although i had the heavy duty springs. My guess is that you will be sagging somewhat in the front.

I asked a similar question here a while ago about my 2-door sport regarding stock springs, and the consensus seemed to be around 3/4" loss in height without a winch, 1 1/4"-1 1/2" with winch. Mind you, that was with stock front springs and the suggestion was if I wanted to keep it stock to fit the stiffest stock springs available (from a Rubi 4-door Hard Top with tow pack)

Here's the link to that thread that discusses the options for the different stock spring rates, with some usuful before & after pics of the effect on height of heavier bumpers:
