Some of your ideas for the front end are spot on, ford flipped the upper inner control arm mounts on the RTV falcon, perfect solution. Pretty sure they also flipped the the outer tie rod ends on top as well.
Awesome video, heaps of info, I've watched this a few times now! What would you recommend for the front to match raised King springs and SuperPro spacers in the rear? I was thinking maybe the SZ springs and forks on SX/SY shocks with a slip on spacer or two. That might achieve 35mm? Those bolt on spacers seem like a stuff around having to dial them into alignment.
I've got SZ forks and one 6mm slip spacer in the front of my new Territory. That gives about 30mm. In the rear I've got raised king springs and Nolathane standard spring seats. That also gives about 30mm. If you go superpro 10mm spring seats in the rear with raised king springs I'd be looking at a 20mm bolt on spacer for the front with the SZ forks. Territory's don't have any factory rear camber adjustment. With that lift you will end up with positive camber. Rear shocks will also be close to there limit. For a simple setup that really works I have to advise people to go with what I currently have on my new Territory. Front: ● SZ lower forks $100-$150 ● Prado 120 6mm slip on spacers $49 ● Extended braided brake lines $280 (F&R) Rear: ● Raised King Springs $199 ● Nolathane spring seats $108 ● Territory Offroad 531mm extended shocks $170 ● Extended braided brake lines $280 (F&R) Dynamic D hole Steel rims. 17x8 positive 10 up front and 17x8 0 offset rear $142 each. Tyre's 245 65 17. I use Comforser CF3000 MT tyre's at around $170 per tyre plus fitting.
@TerritoryOffroad okay, maybe Nolathane rear spring seats are the go, if it means not worrying about bolt on front spacers 👍 Thanks for mentioning the longer rear shocks, I forgot about that. Is there much that can be done regarding rear camber? Any plans to delete your ZF heat exchanger and run an external trans cooler? I'm wondering what the best way to avoid milkshakes is... That's if I bite the bullet and get an SY2 😎
@@SwaggingWithBen Yeah I've completely removed the standard heat exchanger. I didn't buy a kit made all my own stuff. It's all in my new project videos. For camber you can get superpro offset bushes. They aren't simple to adjust. You can also get adjustable camber arm's but I would bend them offroad and the bushes fail. I'm in the process of making a lot of my own stuff up ready to sell. Like full lift kit's, lift spacers, a few different extended rear shocks and my reinforced adjustable rear camber arm's.
Me again. Ive done the standard lift with bigger tyres and all is great, just one problem. If I go over a speed hump sometimes I get a decent bang sound from the rear. Could it be the shocks maybe? they came with the raised springs. Seems to be only coming from the passenger side though
I find it will but can be a little slow. I've got a few videos showing it braking a lifted wheel. I'll be putting together a video on that stuff very soon.
Awesome video, explains it all well for someone wanting to lift theirs. With the 6mm flat spacers, can you run more than 1 on each strut or will there not be enough thread left?
@@TerritoryOffroad do you know if the standard height kings springs are stiff and make the car feel crap or is it just the raised ones? What's your go to brand of springs for the front?
@@JoshYeoman I would just keep the standard territory springs in the front but that's just me. I find most other's to stiff. It's easy to lift the front without using raised springs.
Thanks for the video .. where can l get the slip on top strut spacer my Territory, AWD Ghia 2005 .. would this be same as Prado 120 or Falcon .. cheers
@@MrLeeBrocky 235 65 17 tyre's will fit without any lift. 245 65 17 will also fit standard rim's and clear as long as the side tread isn't to aggressive.
@@tamarachumbley8722 I still haven't got them to work yet. Only way I can see involves welding the knuckle. Because of this I also still don't know if the have enough movement for the territory's suspension travel. I'll post the link still if you want to take a look. Territory rack end's are to short so need RTV Falcon one's, need the shims each side and the dust cover also. au.rs-online.com/web/p/rod-ends/4688806
I looked at them but one end is to big to work with the territory spring seats. With raised king springs, my 40mm bolt in rear spacers and if you wanted superpro 10mm spring seats that's about 80mm of suspension lift more by the time it's out at the wheels. That's about the limit of the CVs with extended shocks.
No RWD don't have the lower fork. It's only the AWDs that have it to clear the CV shafts. On a RWD the shocks extend all the way to the lower control arm's. With RWD for front lift you have to look at raised springs (not recommended) or slip on and bolt on strut top spacers.
I found with the rear shocks sold by some of the sellers on ebay when I ask for the measurements for when they’re extended and close their response is they can’t tell me or they don’t know
I've sent individual shock companies emails before and got the information back. It was the more popular bands not the no name one's. Ebay sellers aren't interested in any kind of technical support. I know the Webco D22 Navara shocks have the right amount of up and down travel. I sell them now with all the sleeves, bolt's, spacers and washers needed to fit a territory.
Trailblazer is the SUV version of the Holden Colorado. Be careful what springs you use as they ended up sagging very bad due to been a softer spring. If you can find a HD raised spring it might work OK.
Thank you for this comprehensive video! Looks like I will be raising my territory
If you come across any issues just message me. Lot's more info on the Facebook group
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge hey, good stuff

Never looked to much into the RTV stuff as it seems hard to come by.

Happy to help

From my experience yes rear shocks don't handle lift. I now use D22 Navara shocks with my own fitting kit depending on the amount of lift.
Well done. Does the traction control stop wheel spin enough given there are 3 open diffs to lose power through?
I find it will but can be a little slow. I've got a few videos showing it braking a lifted wheel. I'll be putting together a video on that stuff very soon.
@@TerritoryOffroad thanks, good to see. My unlifted Territory seems to spin a lot
Awesome video, explains it all well for someone wanting to lift theirs.
With the 6mm flat spacers, can you run more than 1 on each strut or will there not be enough thread left?
I had two stacked up to make 12mm at one point. The studs aren't long enough for any more.
@@TerritoryOffroad awesome, was just thinking the sz forks and 2 spacers might do enough for me so I don't need to change the front struts at all
@@JoshYeoman Yeah that would give about 35-40mm of lift in the front. Would keep the installation very simple.
@@TerritoryOffroad do you know if the standard height kings springs are stiff and make the car feel crap or is it just the raised ones? What's your go to brand of springs for the front?

Would this lift instalment work on a SZ RWD?
Where did you get the rose jointed outer tie Rod end, I’ve been looking for them and can’t find it
For the steering rack?
@@TerritoryOffroad yes the rose joint for the rack end
@@TerritoryOffroad it’s the second time my tie rod ends worn even though I’ve installed them properly and all of my suspension has been rebuilt

Hi mate, what sort of tyre size do you think ill need after ive done just the basic lift? im going to use the standard 17inch steelies. cheers!
245 65 17 is my recommendation. They clear perfectly with no other modifications needed.
@@TerritoryOffroad awesome bud, cheers!
I would say gq patrol springs may fit for rears
I looked at them but one end is to big to work with the territory spring seats.
With raised king springs, my 40mm bolt in rear spacers and if you wanted superpro 10mm spring seats that's about 80mm of suspension lift more by the time it's out at the wheels. That's about the limit of the CVs with extended shocks.
Does the front fork mod work on a rwd sy territory ?
No RWD don't have the lower fork. It's only the AWDs that have it to clear the CV shafts. On a RWD the shocks extend all the way to the lower control arm's.

Is trail blazer springs a brand
Trailblazer is the SUV version of the Holden Colorado.
Be careful what springs you use as they ended up sagging very bad due to been a softer spring. If you can find a HD raised spring it might work OK.
@@TerritoryOffroad yeah I’m just gonna go with the king springs and the super pro mounts
@@rileymcmurray2282 it's probably the best way. I'll have my own part's out this year just got a hold up on the steel.
