Doubts on suspension parts to buy after a small lift was created by JimnyCol

My Jimny is a JB43, 2017, and I'm based in Colombia. The car has been lifted with a suspension kit (coils + absorbers) +4 cm by XT Automotive, and I have castor correction bushes already fitted.
Given that the coil spring seats (especially the rear ones) are partially cracked, I'm willing to buy SHOWA GARAGE 10mm Coil Spring Spacer for Jimny , not sure if 10 mm or even 15 mm. This would bring the suspension lift to +2" approx.
For such a lift, would it be correct to buy TANIGUCHI Rear Panhard Rod Relocation Bracket for Jimny and SHOWA GARAGE Short Stabilizer Links for Jimny too, to correct the geometry now?

Usually a 2 inch lift doesn't need much more than the springs and dampers and normally they drive ok afterwards. That's not to say there is no benefit to reworking the rest of the geometry but that is normally only needed on a bigger lift like 3 inches and higher. Normally. See what it drives like first.

The Old Man Emu 40mm lift kit comes with a rear panhard relocation bracket. During development of the kit they worked out the ride was much better with it. There is a video from OME out there, about it.
I have this kit fitted to my JB74, not added any spacers to the lift, so not looked onto the short stabiliser links.
