r/prerunners

Im coming from rallycross so I'm mildly familiar with off road driving but nothing like these races. New to dipping my toe in pre-runners, was interested in a class 2000 truck build. My question is: is there any good "starter" platform that has more available "bolt-on" style parts? From what ive seen a lot of these seem to be ground up custom tube-chassis builds though.

I know how to build fast street cars, but this is my first project on a truck especially in the offroad ballpark.

I have a 2009 f150 XLT 2WD with a 3v 4.6 triton motor. My goal for it is to be a daily driver and fun on the weekends. I dont want to go full on tube frame or anything like that. I still need it to be a truck and do truck things. Like i said in town daily driver, red light to red light. I tow trailers with it every now and then, i have to move across the country once every few years, and its also used on a ranch.

I dont know anything about brands for these kinds of builds or even the ins and outs of these kinds of builds so anything would be helpful. Longer travel suspension, bumpers, general upgrades, any tips and advice would be appreciated. Even pointers in where to start looking.
