I would imagine, if they are a factory spring, not much...
they really dont lift it, more load rating, that is it. My 1/2 ton came with 3 leaf (plow truck), my 3/4 ton came with 2 leaf, and my 1 ton had 3 leaf, all sat pretty much the same although the 1ton was a little higher because of the front 60.

My 77 K5 has the 3 leaf pack under the front. My father bought it new, and never changed anything, so it was a factory option. It does sit up higher than other stock K5s. It also rides very firm...
I am able to fit my 35x12.50s on 15x12 wheels with very minimal trimming on the front fenders.
Your results may vary, as my blazer only has 70k on it, so they probably aren't as worn out as most springs out there.

I promise, if they are not saggy, they will lift the truck exactly the thickness of that 3rd leaf.

actually the correct answer is:
if you replace the 2 leaf with a 3 leaf of the same condition you will gain 1/2" to maybe 1" and you will flex less so bigger tires might not rub when flexing it.
