We all spend time drooling over the extra-large off-road trucks from European manufacturers like MAN, Mercedes, Tatra, Renault and Volvo. While we can't purchase these vehicles in North America, it is possible to build trucks with similar performance.
Alton is a Michigan company that produces specialty trucks to your specifications. They have built several SEMA award winners. Here's an example, an F650 modified to have a six-door crew cab and 4x4
The front suspension looks sanitary, as they used to say in Southern California. I think I'd ask for a high mounted tie rod.
The rear suspension is custom, too.
With the range of tires available for 22.5 inch rims, there would be no need to use dual rear wheels unless you were planning an over-the-road weight close to 30,000 lbs.
