Im not at the truck to be able to look at this till this weekend. Im trying to find out how much room there is to work with between the bottom of the oil pan and the oil pick up. Like, is there a certain amount the oil pan can be sectioned without having to modify the oil pickup in the pan?

ive heard of people bending the pick up a little bit to clear the bottom of the pan. typically you would just section the third hump. it was told to me that the third hump basically hold the exta quart of oil to keep you safe. when you section it if you wanted to get crazy you could build the pan outward to hold the same amount of oil.

you should be able to fit it under stock metal by getting dropped motor mounts (if seth still sells them) or you'll have to make your own, sectioning the 3rd hump off the stock oil pan, modifying the drag link for your steering and possibly modifying your breather it should fit with no problems if your only going to the rocker.
