Question:
looking to install a bulldog winch rear wiring kit with an anderson connector on both the front and rear bumper so i can move my winch to either end. From the battery, can i just splice in a second wire and connection to the front bumper or do i need a whole separate wire from the battery to the front bumper?

Expert Reply:
I recommend running different wiring for the front and back Anderson connections for a winch on your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty for a few reasons; the wiring is pretty hefty so you want to have really secure connections, and then if something were to go wrong with one end of the wiring you won't have to worry about the other end being affected. Since these connect to the battery via terminals it also helps to make the installation process a little more streamlined as well.
I recommend using the 7-1/2' long lead kit # BDW20025 for the front and then the 20' long lead kit # BDW20206 for the rear end of your F-350. I've attached some installation videos for you to check out as well.
