That's odd.
I've had the 4" ORA lift installed for 1,5 years without relocation brackets, used for plenty of offroading and comps. Bushes still looks new.

Thank you very much for a prompt and clear answer.

My Jimny is LHD diesel, so it turns out that it is OK that my front panhard rod has a slight bend.

I've had something strange occur. I fitted a Jimnybits 2" lift and with this I purchased adjustable panhards.
However even with the standards panhards my axles are almost perfectly centre, in fact, slightly out to the left still.

HAve you measured how tall the Jimny stands on standard springs compared to the 2" JB lift ?

I only have measurements from my 40mm spacer lift and the JB 2" lift. The measurements are similar.
The car is definitely quite a bit higher than standard springs alone.
