I did not measure exactly but my full width LoD and Engo E10000 with synth line did not lower my 07 Sahara with stock suspension more than 1/4in.

Sounds like we have a similar setup. I added about 300 lbs with my bumpers & winch, but didn't lose very much @ all. Think it took a 1/2 inch away maybe.

Just wondering If I was going to need 3/4 or 1 inch coil spacers and not have to worry about adjusting driveline.

What bumper and winch are you planning? Steel or synthetic line? It can vary a lot.

Added a winch bumper, winch, front skid, Roadmaster tow brackets, and PureJeep hooks. Took off about 50 pounds of stock bumper. Lost more than an inch, then got it back with Rubi springs.

Rock Hard full bumper/Powerplant winch on stock '12 JKU Rubi, lost an inch. VERY noticeable rake.

Stock bumper, but a Warn 9500Ti winch, Rough Country winch mounting plate, Blue Ox tow plate and a pair of D hooks cost me about 1 1/2 inches. A set of Rancho leveling coils got back the drop and took out the rake from the factory. Now I am level, but have just recently added some new Bilsteins on the front and rear.

The folks who lost height are using synthetic or steel cable lines? It's a considerable weight difference.
