An inch doesn't sound like much, but I know can be a lot, as well. My truck is dropped 3.5"/5" with spindles, springs. What's a good pan to use for that? I'm assuming the truck pan won't work, but maybe it will?

It depends on your mounts somewhat. The Hummer pan is what I use in my trucks that are similarly lowered and have never had any problems. If you want a shallower pan, the CTS-V pan is what you want, but it's a much more expensive pan for some reason.
