    FORD F350 BUILDS
    Ford's F-350 Tremor comes with an off-road package from the factory. So what did this one still need to do a full lap of Australia with a van in tow? Dean and Timmy walk the whole truck: the front end and lighting, a levelling kit (not a lift), the roof setup, a switch panel that runs everything from your phone, tow wiring built for the next van, and the canopy on the back. This one heads home interstate when it's finished.

✅ What you'll see:
· Why every truck that leaves the workshop gets its driver-assist recalibrated after a bar goes on
· Two Lightforce driving lights and a 15,000 lb Carbon winch, with the winch controller under the bonnet
· Power pulled from the front for the canopy, plus fuses for the air controller, switch panel and tow plugs
· Levelling, not lifting: Carli 2.5 shocks, radius arms with limit straps, diff guard and a low-mount steering stabiliser
· Why this right-hand-drive conversion can't run the full kit as it comes from the US
· Reinstating the Platinum's headlight levelling sensors so the low beam can be re-aimed for a load
· The owner's wheels and tyres carried over from his last truck, and colour-coded flares for a canopy spec
· Roof rack with a 50-inch curved Stedi light bar, side lights, solar, UHF on a fold-down bracket and a satellite-internet mount
· Running every light from the Switch-Pros panel and the phone app, with low-voltage disconnect and dimming
· The long-range fuel tank and the NB2 upgrade
· Tow wiring: a 120-amp grey Anderson plug, a 50-amp grey and a constant red, ready for a bigger van
· A walk around the canopy: fold-out ladder, kitchen, fridge and storage
· What we'd do next: stepping up to 37s

✅ How it's set up:
· Black Ford F-350 Platinum Tremor, built for an interstate owner
· Levelling kit with radius arms and limit straps, NB2
· Driving lights, 15,000 lb winch, roof rack with light bar, solar and satellite-internet mount
· Switch panel with app control, long-range tank, van-ready tow wiring

✅ Where to start:
· Building from interstate? The team can manage the whole build, canopy timing included
· Planning a canopy? Do the fuel tank and power first so nothing gets redone

    Planning your dream HD truck build, whether it's a Chevy, a Ford or a Ram 2500 or 3500, starts well before the truck rolls into the workshop. Dean, co-founder of Big Dog Builds, walks the workshop step by step: wheels and tyres first, then suspension, airbags, alignment, flares, electrics, roof rack, bar work, driver-assist recalibration and off-grid power. Bring these answers to your build design call and the whole process moves faster, whether you're after an essentials build or a full touring setup for a lap of Australia.

✅ What you'll see:
· Why wheels and tyres are step one, and why screenshots of styles you like (and don't) help before the first call
· Why the factory wheels and tyres usually can't stay once the suspension is upgraded
· The spare question: four wheels with a factory-size spare, or five with a full-size spare
· Wheels and tyres pre-fitted and balanced before the truck arrives, to cut time in the workshop
· A Chevy 2500 lift kit with adjustable remote-reservoir shocks checked on the prep trolley before it reaches the hoist
· Rear airbags: the sign you're leaning on them too much, and adjusting pressures from the driver's seat when you tow
· Flared or non-flared fitment, colour-coded flares, and what a wider offset does to the track
· The Chevy 2500 under-bonnet powerboard with one breaker that shuts off every accessory, plus grey and red Anderson plugs at the rear so a regulated solar blanket can top up the under-bonnet batteries
· The Big Dog Builds accessory rack, a prerunner-style front bar and 360 camera relocation
· Driver-assist recalibration after suspension, bar work and wheel changes
· Under-seat power that runs one household appliance at a time, from an induction cooker to a coffee machine
· NB1 or NB2: why the registration category matters for payload and towing, and why the rules differ by state

✅ How it's set up:
· Chevy 2500 demo parts: 3-inch BDS kit, Fox 2.5 remote-reservoir DSC shocks, triple-bellow rear airbags and an Air IQ compressor
· Road-force balancing and Hunter wheel alignment in the workshop
· Accessory rack with front and side LED lighting; Starlink on a Gorilla mount, solar and MaxTrax as options
· Under-seat 200Ah lithium battery and 2,000W inverter with app monitoring
· Canopy-ready prep, hitches, weather shields and paint protection as extras

✅ Where to start:
· Send in screenshots of wheel and tyre styles before your build design call
· Work out how you'll register the truck, NB1 or NB2, and check your state's rules
· Interstate? The transport network can get your truck to the Queensland workshop; fly in for the handover and drive home, or have it shipped back
· Already built? The aftercare team is a call or an email away for questions or a stage-two build
