Re: deeper sump oil pan help
Its debatable if you even need the extra oil……FWIW you can get another quart or so with a larger filter, and have seen them mentioned on here. I would go that route on a lowered truck.
Hope this helps.... s/t

Re: deeper sump oil pan help
You can use the readily available "kick out" style pan and pick up 2 quarts with out very much ground clearance decrease(maybe a 1/2".
One of the advantages is to have more oil and less windage. I will typically use 1 quart less than it's capacity(to lessen windage) and still have 1 quart more than stock.
