Very slightly, because the effective castor angle changes. The wheelbase is 6' 8", which is 320 times the height change, so the castor angle change is about 0.18 degree. It will affect the steering self-centering slightly, but I doubt that anyone would notice.

The 'transfer' of weight to the front will also change the ride height at the front, thus alter the camber. Minimal though.
