Has anyone tried out the Canton Bronco specific oil pan? My oil pan is junk and I'm thinking about getting that one but looks rather deep. I'll be running a 3.5" lift and not doing anything what may cause extreme axle articulating.

Here's a link to it.

FYI, how much list is irrelevant unless it just sits in the garage. Clearance is an issue when the springs compress. Where are the bumpstops set at? Pull the coils and jack the axle up until it is well smashed into the bumpstops. Now you know how much clearance you really have. I hate hitting the bumpstops, but nice to know that when it happens nothing bad is going to happen.

I have the 351W version with a 3.5” lift. No clearance issues at all. I don’t do anything that would cause any real flex but it looks like it has plenty of room to do so

I used a canton on the Kaysinger Racing Bronco and we ended up modifying the pan as we hit it during our first test run. 2.5" lift. And race pace. Probably okay if cruising.
