2013 Ram 2500 | Overland Build

Check out this 2013 RAM 2500 overland build. Planned and built by Rob to go off on long excursions across continents. Getting out and away is just a part of life for Rob and what better way to do that than to have a bad ass fully built RAM 2500 platform to take you anywhere you want. This Ram is featuring our 3" coilover conversion system with FOX 2.5 coilovers which is able to fit 40" tires with the AEV fender cut outs. From gear to powertrain, follow along with Rob as he walks you through his build.

The military guys always build the most interesting shit

[@josephhecht2439]

Because we know what we need and what else is a waste of space/weight.

[@coreydickey3657]

Probably one of the best Ram appearance years....

[@jondunlop4423]

What a killer build man…got an 07 Ram 3500 I’m building now and you just gave me some major inspiration! Congrats on retirement, have fun, stay safe Semper Fi…🤙🏻

[@markjar]

Thanks BDS for the build video and thanks to Rob for his service

Awesome truck & truck built , seems like I have a long way to go in order to get it overlanding ready Lol. But sweet build.

[@rshanep5226]

[@loosebolts4537]

Nice rig rundown everything serves a purpose as it should be.

Colorado plates, sweet!!! Love the truck.

[@Rob-yf1zz]

Thanks and I love being a Colorado native! Take care

[@AdventuresWithDaniel]

@@Rob-yf1zz me too!! Not too many of us natives :)

[@chacecardiff3441]

I love seeing an “older” model outfitted. Who upfitted the SLT to Laramie interior?! Amazing!

[@tracyadams9727]

Great job. Looks totally American Awesome

[@kirkdunn1379]

yes very well done.......set it up exacty the way you need it, am sure those 40s make road feel a lil nicer as well...

[@iaminyourbasement]

Nice truck

[@macsedge2328]

Cool truck you did a great job

[@Rob-yf1zz]

Thank you very much! Take care!

[@coryhenson5059]

Nice build! I have an AEV PROSPECTOR XL on order. Can’t wait to start my own mods on it.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice rig.

[@Rob-yf1zz]

Thank you!

[@Velweryn]

Lovely build out mate!

[@NWKADTS]

1 million dollars latter. 😊. Very nice build! Love it!

[@bdssuspension]

Thank you! 😊

[@freedomadventure2018]

Gonna be in the market for a full size pickup definitely enjoyed all the info! See ya around!

[@aaronj8600]

Yeah!! I’d like to see another setup like this with dual front Fox 2.0s. I’m out in the Canyons several times a year and it’s beating me and my 17 2500 to bits.

[@HTSS8]

Get Liquid Springs

[@Industrialmodels2]

If the tents a flappin dont come a knockin....

[@stevenfoust3782]

Amazing build. Beautiful Dodge!

[@vooduuchild3601]

I did the same suspension on my Ram 3500, as I too had great success with BDS on my Jeep. I am pretty disappointed with the BDS coilovers in the Ram. Should have just ponied up for Carli.

[@teg8279]

Whhhyyy! Fuels

[@jasonnourry9612]

Sweet build 👍

[@Rob-yf1zz]

Thanks so much!

[@corneliodiaz5904]

What brand is the Half Rack? Great truck!!!

[@ddev7376]

@@Rob-yf1zz curious why you didn't go with the aev dual sport lift when you have all the other aev parts? I just installed a 4.5 zone kit in my cummins dually with 37s which carries my slide in camper. Want 40s but figure I'll need to regear. Curious if you regeared yours for the 40s?

[@Rob-yf1zz]

@@ddev7376 hey there, I have worked with BDS and Fox for a few years now. I love my coilovers and with there 3” set up it rounds out the build well. I run AEV exterior stuff but enjoy making this build unique! I always re-gear as soon as I start my builds. I run 4.56 Nitro gears. Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

[@michaellewis128]

Just put the Uptop half rack on my 19 Ram 2500

[@jaymoore3205]

Did you have to use the AEV front axle relocation kit 1.6” ?

[@Spitfire1262]

Is this a Hemi or Cummins? Still running the short control arms up front? Just curious about the ride. I have a 2013 SLT too on 37s and it feels really stiff even with softer springs.

[@OutlawOverlandCo]

How it work out with BDS suspension and AEV Flares? I know AEV claims needing to push the axle forward a couple inches.

[@Kapukawai]

First and foremost thank you for your service. Truck is bad ass. I have a 2014 Mega Cab Laramie myself and I noticed you have the light controller mounted on your dash in a bezel. Was that custom made or is there a company that sells that.

[@bdssuspension]

That was custom 3D printed for his truck.

[@xMods-ld8nx]

Some dude on Instagram makes and sells them it’s tough to find

[@Wanderlust073]

The guy doesn't seem like the social media type, but anyone know if he put together a channel to follow some of his trips?

[@anthonygendron9737]

I wonder why BDS doesn’t make a suspension for the Jeep Gladiator?

[@bdssuspension]

Feel free to check out our sister company JKS Manufacturing for premium gladiator suspension systems.

[@TheTeaguecowley]

How do you pull a 5th wheel with all that extra height?

[@craigkim5995]

Nice build. Are you running a stock sway bar? I've switch to a Thuren Active Rate sway bar on my 2500 and it was the single best suspension upgrade for off-road.

[@Rob-yf1zz]

I’ll be replacing the stock sway bar. Looking at the Carli set up.

[@yourmamalikesmacncheese]

You should have bought the big one.

[@drondronin3094]

✔👍👏👌

[@HTSS8]

Payload for a 2500 or 3500? 3500 SRW still has leafs.

[@theunexperiencedfarmer310]

I was also thrown off by pulling a fifth wheel with a roof tent

[@jayem5905]

2013 2500 has leaf springs. 2500s didn’t get coils until the 2014 model year.

[@chadcrawford5490]

Love that truck
