Give up SLS?

Give up SLS?
Looking for some advice. My disco has SLS and I have really enjoyed the comfy ride that it provides. Nothing wrong with my SLS system at the moment. However, I am thinking about putting a lift on, but would like to know some pros and cons. I am looking at either a Terrafirma kit from Justin at Lucky8 or a OME lift. No steel bumpers, winches, roof racks, or anything like that at the moment. But would like to add on down the road.
As of now, I do about 85% on the road driving and 15% off the road. Not crazy trails, but some added ground clearance would be nice. I will be graduating with my masters degree shortly though and when I do, I will be buying a new car for the wife, and I will be driving our Corolla to and from work and using my Rover as my weekend toy.
Also, two other somewhat non-related questions. Does adding a lift affect the ACE system at all? I am guessing not.
And lastly, in the sticky's for the SLS to coil conversion, I cannot see any of the photos. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

when the time come for a lift just replace your bags (just like you would a spring) and you can get 2 inch spacer that fit under them to give you the same height as your new front coil springs. Ace is not a problem unless you go wuth to big a lift, Disco Mike has a 3 inch lift on his truck and he is still running SLS & ACE.

Hm. I know my airbags are fine, but I don't think my "off-road" mode works. When I push the button with the picture of the Rover with the arrow pointing up at the back, it does nothing. If I push and hold the button, the truck beeps at me and the light on the dash flashes orange. How are you supposed to 'raise and lower'? I do not have the SLS remote fob that does this.
