    CHEVY 2500 BUILDS
    Get the inside scoop on the 2023 vs 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 showdown: a white 2023 on a five-inch lift and 37s, parked beside the brand-new slate grey 2024 facelift. Dean walks around both trucks and runs through the mods on each one, from the front bar, driving lights, roof rack and tow setup on the 2024 to the clean lift, wheels, tyres and flares on the white 2023. Which one would you swipe right on? Tell us in the comments.

✅ What you'll see:
· The slate grey 2024 front end with a textured-black front bar that ties into the black trim
· Lazer Lamps Sentinel 9-inch Elite driving lights on the bar, STEDI lighting inside it and a Carbon 15,000lb winch
· A four-inch lift on Method 605 NV 20x10 wheels (-24 offset) that fill out colour-coded Bushwacker Extend flares in the smooth finish
· 37x12.5R20 Toyo Open Country R/T tyres, and why they air down so well for this kind of setup
· AMP Research smart-series electric side steps, and the phone app that swaps the door settings after the right-hand-drive conversion
· The Big Dog Builds accessory rack: a 50-inch curved STEDI light bar that doubles as a wind deflector, and full sunroof access
· Amber side work lights you can dim, forward lights on a high-beam trigger, all run through a Switch-Pros SP-9100
· Slide nuts on the rack for kayaks, solar panels, recovery boards and shovels
· Inside the cab: the digital rear-view mirror, the factory camera-kit provision for a caravan camera, and a GME XRS 370 UHF run from the handpiece
· An ARB twin on-board compressor on an ignition relay, with an air outlet at the tow bar
· Boss rear airbags with in-cab pressure control, or manual Schrader valves if you'd rather keep it simple
· The Gen-Y torsion hitch combo: a reversible 50mm/70mm ball, a pintle hook, an AT tongue for DO35 or DO45, and locking pins
· Tow-bar wiring with red and grey Anderson plugs beside the factory 12-pin plug
· The white 2023: BDS five-inch lift with Fox 2.5 remote-reservoir shocks, 37x12.5R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and colour-coded smooth flares
· The 2023's move from NB1 to NB2, and why a big lift on 37s needs electric side steps

✅ How it's set up:
· 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD facelift in slate grey: four-inch lift, 37s, front bar with winch and driving lights
· Big Dog Builds accessory rack with light bar and side lights, twin compressor, rear airbags with in-cab control, hitch combo and Anderson plugs
· 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD in white: five-inch lift on 37s, colour-coded flares, electric side steps, moved up to NB2

✅ Where to start:
· Torn between the 2023 and the 2024 facelift? The same accessory rack fits both
· Towing a van? Start with rear airbags, a good hitch and proper tow-bar wiring
· Still choosing your platform? Download the free Buyer Kit below

    Avoid this Mistake: Chevy 2500 Showdown
    YouTube Video UEwwYmFlRDROVWFkN2EyNVh5UWxkaTN3Z2NhWG9CN3hQXy45NDk1REZENzhEMzU5MDQz
    This Chevy 2500 was build number 500 through the Big Dog Builds workshop when it was filmed in mid-2024, and it's a monster: a 6.5-inch lift, 37-inch tyres and a canopy on the way to turn it into a big American super tourer. Dean walks it from the hitch to the front bar and shows what goes into a heavy touring build.

✅ What you'll see:
· The rear end before the canopy goes on: a six-hole drop torsion hitch with lockable pins and a reversible ball
· Rear airbags, and why a leaf spring reset comes next before the canopy
· Why ride comes down to the balance of suspension, wheels and tyres, airbags and a good hitch
· 20x10 -24 wheels on 37x13.5R20 tyres, and why there's a little poke until the flares and canopy go on
· A 210-litre replacement fuel tank, good for about 1,000 km of range with a big van on the back
· XL electric side steps: the extra drop, sill protection from stones, courtesy lights and the hold-down trick for reaching the windscreen when you wash the truck
· The Big Dog Builds V1 accessory rack: T-slot crossbars, a stainless antenna mount, a curved light bar that doubles as a wind deflector and amber side lights
· The switch panel on the windscreen, because there are still no factory accessory switch positions
· The colour-coded front bar and lighting package, with a light bar in the middle and spotlights on the hoop
· A winch with a wireless remote, plus a plug-in extension in case you need a wired remote
· The 6.5-inch high-clearance suspension kit with dual-speed adjustable remote-reservoir shocks, and colour-coded flares

✅ How it's set up:
· Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
· BDS 6.5-inch high-clearance lift kit with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite remote-reservoir shocks
· Boss triple-bellow airbags to suit the 6.5-inch lift
· Method MR605 NV 20x10 -24 matte black wheels, Yokohama Geolandar G016 37x13.5R20 tyres, Bushwacker colour-coded flares
· Colour-coded front bar with a satin black hoop, Lazer Lamps Utility 25 Max, Triple-R light bar and Sentinel 9-inch lights
· Carbon Offroad Tank winch with a wireless remote and a plug-in extension
· AMP Research PowerStep XL electric side steps
· Big Dog Builds V1 roof rack with a stainless antenna mount, Stedi 50.8-inch curved light bar and Stedi amber side lights
· Switch-Pros SP-9100 switch panel
· Titan 210-litre replacement fuel tank
· Gen-Y Boss torsion flex hitch, 2-inch receiver with a 10-inch drop
· Grey Anderson (50 A rated) and red Anderson (20 A rated, direct to battery)
· Chrome delete: black indicators and blacked-out badges

· Planning a canopy? Get the leaf spring reset and airbags sorted before it goes on

    Chevy 2500 Monster is Build Number 500
    YouTube Video UEwwYmFlRDROVWFkN2EyNVh5UWxkaTN3Z2NhWG9CN3hQXy5DQUNERDQ2NkIzRUQxNTY1
    This 2024 Chevy 2500 HD is a street-legal monster truck for the Aussie outback: a 5-inch lift on 37-inch tyres, built in the NB2 category and kitted out to tackle any track and tow. We walk the whole build, from the bumper spacers that clear the 37s to the under-seat battery that runs a coffee machine with the engine off. It's the ultimate build for conquering the outback, with no expense spared.

✅ What you'll see:
· The White Rhino at first light
· Bumper spacers so the 37-inch tyres don't rub
· Why the 5-inch high-clearance kit keeps the CV angles flat, and what it adds over a 2 to 3-inch kit
· Dual-speed adjustable shocks you can tune for each load
· Wheels, tyres and the smooth flares that keep it road legal
· Colour-coded mirrors, gloss black accents and US factory amber roof lights
· XL electric side steps that fold down lower and are easier to climb than the factory step
· In the cab: UHF, an 8-switch panel and a mobile signal booster
· Short bed steps and fold-down antennas
· Double-bellow rear airbags with phone-app presets
· A second compressor for tyres, with an air outlet on the tow bar
· Electric tailgate clearance and the adjustable hitch
· The under-seat battery and inverter for coffee machines, hair dryers and devices

✅ How it's set up:
· 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD in white, NB2 category
· BDS 5-inch high-clearance lift with Fox 2.5 Performance Elite DSC shocks and a bumper spacer kit
· Method MR312 17x8.5 zero offset wheels on 37x12.5x17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, with Bushwacker smooth flares
· AMP Research PowerStep XL electric side steps, colour-coded mirrors and amber roof lights
· GME XRS 370 UHF, Switch-Pros SP-9100 switch panel and a Cel-Fi Go signal booster
· Boss double-bellow airbags with Air IQ, an twin compressor and a Gen-Y torsion flex hitch
· Under-seat 200Ah DCS lithium battery, Enerdrive 2000W inverter and DC-DC charger, with Anderson, solar, USB and accessory outlets in the tub

✅ Where to start:
· Want 37s on a Chevy 2500? Talk to the team about the bigger lift and the right offset
· Need power without a canopy? Ask about the under-seat battery setup
· Still choosing your truck? Download the free Buyer Kit below
