I ran the truck pan on my last truck and it worked fine. Just hung WAY below the crossmemeber as you've probably seen with yours now. This time I'll be running the CTSV pan. If you're going that low with the suspension, you may need to consicer the f-body pan. Here is a picture comparing the depth of the LS1 pan vs the CTSV pan. Mearure from you block down to see how low this CTSV pan will hang.
