Question Oil leak

I have an 86 suburban 1/2T 2WD that is leaking around the oil pan front & back. Sides are dry front to back. There is about 4 in. of clearance between the front of the pan and the crossmember. Will I have to raise the motor to replace the pan gasket? I'm going to use a 1pc. Felpro. I replaced the timing gear, chain and front oil seal about 75K ago. You can see where oil is leaking past the seal on the front of the pan. Any suggsetions??
