The MY26 RAM 2500 looks identical to the MY25 — but three things changed that actually matter.

We've already built three MY26 units, and Dean breaks down what's new: improved 12V distribution, revised rear suspension mounting (affects lift compatibility), and updated tow hitch engineering.

If you're deciding between model years, this is the comparison RAM won't give you.

This RAM 2500 tows a 4.2-tonne Jayco van every single weekend.

The owners needed engineered GVM, airbag suspension, and a setup that survives 40+ weekends a year under real load. Dean shows the spec. The couple explains why they trust it. We follow them on a typical run.

If you're planning serious towing, this is the reference build.

Big Dog Builds is Australia's only GMSV-certified modification workshop — which means your Silverado warranty stays protected when you build with us.

Dean explains how the partnership works and why it matters for buyers planning serious tow rigs.

If you're ordering a Silverado 2500 or 3500 and want compliance confidence without voiding coverage, this is the certification that matters.

Method 305s are on 80% of the Silverado 2500 builds we do — here's why they're the default choice.

Perfect offset for lifted trucks. Bronze finish pairs with every paint colour. Genuinely durable under Australian conditions.

Dean breaks down what makes Method 305s better than cheaper alternatives and why we spec them on almost every Silverado build unless you specifically ask for something else.

If you're building a Silverado 2500, this is the wheel decision made easy.

If you're spec'ing a Silverado 2500 and want to know why Method 305s are the go-to wheel, we'll walk you through it.

Fox vs King shocks on Silverado 2500 — we've installed 300+ of both. Here's the honest comparison.

Fox = stiffer valving, better for heavy towing and payload. King = softer ride, suits lighter touring and daily driving.

We test both back-to-back on the same road and show which one suits your build. If you're choosing shocks for a Chevy 2500, this ends the forum arguments.

If you're planning a touring or off-grid build, this is the power system that actually lasts.

18 months full-time on the road. Trip in A Van's RAM 2500 has towed a 4.2T van from QLD to Cape York to WA and back — and it's still getting better.

Dean walks through the build that made it possible: GVM to 5,500kg, Boss Air airbags, Carli Pintop + King shocks, RSI SmartCap + DECKED storage, Enerdrive lithium + solar.

If you're planning the big lap and you need a proven tow rig, this is the spec.

Carli Suspension — $18,000 installed. Why?

Forged control arms. Pintop 2.5" coilovers. Geometry correction. Ride quality that handles 4+ tonnes towing without the bounce.

Dean breaks down what you're paying for, why cheaper kits fail under load, and the real-world difference on corrugated roads.

If you're building a serious RAM 2500 tourer, this is the investment that pays off.
