Perhaps your should have gotten diesel springs instead?
Those measurements were taken with nothing extra in the car.
I went on quite a long trip and the setup performed well except my LHS is still higher.
On the weekend I jacked up the RHS rear and took some measurements. I discussed this with Rus from JB and he has sent me a 15mm spacer for the RHS rear which seems to even everything out.
I'm not sure if anyone can offer any advice on the following:
I purchased adjustable panhards as I was expecting the axles to be slightly protruding out the RHS, however with the 50mm lift installed they are still around 3mm out to the left with the standard panhards.
Are the axles perhaps out to the LHS by standard?

I don't see the issue with your axles. Of course they won't be centered when you lift the Jimny. Also, the reason why the panhards are sold as being adjustable is because of different lift kits but also because each liftkit works differently on each vehicle.

Sorry, maybe I did not come across clearly.
What I was trying to say is the axles are centered with the standard rods and the 50mm lift. Which I found strange and meaning I bought the adjustable rods unnecessarily. Looking at the geometry the axles should move out the RHS when you lift the car and even with the lift mine are still out the LHS by approx 3mm

Try putting on the standard springs and have a look, also measure how tall it is with them compared to the 2" lift. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual lift is only 1" or less

I'll give that a shot or maybe measure a standard Jimny in the showroom.

That's of no good. You need to measure your own Jimny, due to weight, sag, worn springs and such.
