2003 sporttrac oil pan replacement help

[stang32]

anyone do a lower oil pan on a 4x4 sporttrac?
can I get the pan out without lifting the motor or dropping the front suspension/differential?

i have a leak from the lower pan, i already cleaned the engine down & confirmed it is coming from the lower pan but the clearance is a concern.

Lower pan is simple to pull off, nothing will be blocking you. The upper pan is a WHOLE different story.
