Here are a few things I read before I bought my lift pucks (which are 1.6" - 40mm) for my ACE / SLS truck.
3 things. Are these true?
1) Stock length shocks should be OK with an approx 1.5 inch puck lift. And with 2" you may get reach end of travel and hear knocking in rear at standard ride height. And definitely when in off-road mode with the airsprings you will hit the end of the shocks on big bumps off-road.
2) ACE shocks actually have longer travel because of the ACE system. Is that true? I saw a few montions on the Aussie board about it, but couldn't verify. I have new LR genuine ACE shock absorbers on all 4 corners
3) When you lift a truck, with stock shocks, and you have SLS and raise into off-road mode. You *will* hit end of shock travel on rear (that's 3.6" above standard ride height for me then using stocker ACE shocks.

2 and 3 I really can't say as neither of my trucks have SLS or ACE.
Swiss: what length 7100s did you go with? Short bodied ones? Should be able to bump up a size with those and if you disconnect the sway bars you will be quite impressed with the flex at stock height!
