With most mounts the truck pan is going to be lower than the crossmember. Usually in the range of about 3/4" lower. That is not a problem at all for stock height trucks. But, if you lower the truck enough, it becomes a real possibility that you'll catch the oil pan on something. It's much better to drag to crossmember than the oil sump. I don't know the OP's reasoning behind wanting a shallower oil pan, but this is one possibiilty.
