I am having trouble locating the LSPV. I also can't find any pictures of the location with the surrounding areas to help me locate it.

I am also in the Philippines and have a 2015 Jimny with OME springs and 215/75r15s. All I can say is that Lambert covered everything as well as it can be.
Did you also had front spacers installed to make your Jimny level?
I fitted a 2inch(40mm) suspension lift kit recently, and despite most saying a castor correction kit was required(bushes etc)..i found it unnecessary, i do have a steering damper fitted also, i think because of this possibly, i didnt find any wandering or vagueness on steering mentioned by a lot of people..In fact i found it drives better than before, also ride is improved.
Alot i thinbk depends on how your vehicle has been looked after generaally, if its been a high miler, a lot of other factors will come into play, basically general wear on drive/suspension components, fortunately when i did my mods, it was on a low mileage jimny, only 32000.
So, maybe this is why i havent experienced any of the hassles others had.
I fitted a black raptor 2inch lift, springs and shocks, although this in others opinions is a low budget kit, i find its performance very good for the money spent.
And it really does improve my jimny.,

My Jimny is also "young", only 25K mileage. I haven't installed a steering damper yet but I am thinking about it. We have really bad roads in the Philippines and it's sometimes terrifying to have a sudden steering kickback at 40km/h with scooters all around you.
I would suggest a steering damper is a really good addition, it does get rid of the vague feeling most jimny's have..it doesnt self centre so readily once fitted, but you soon automatically respond to that, took me a day or so to adjust to it, but you really will notice a big improvement, it feels like it should do..responsive, and not so skittish over road irregularities..

Kirkynut
I disagree. Castor correction bushes should be included in the kit in my opinion.
The car is much better on the road with castor correction than without.
I think it drives awful without them.
depends of course on taste and what you prefer, but i like the car to self align after turns like it did before the lift.
Another thing is that most correction bushes for 2" lift does not correct the castor fully as they have too little correction.
