If you try removing the pan with the motor in the truck and it dont work, what have you lost, but if it works just think of the time you saved. some of the work you will be doing to just raise the motor in place is work you would be doing anyway to remove the engine.

Till I know there are no deeper pans as stated above. Why do you want a deeper pan anyway?

These oilpans are difficult to seal correctly. My pan leaked after I removed it, and I was very careful ( obviously not careful enough) . Getting all the surfaces clean, especially at the corners of rear main is key.
Good luck
