My hope is for it to serve a similar purpose, allowing the filter to be tilted as needed to get it out without spilling oil all over.

If I were to be honest with you, I think your going to make a bigger mess removing the filter, letting it rest on something while trying to screw this tool in, all while oil is running out of the block, getting all over you, your tool, your old filter and everything else in sight. Atleast in my experience, getting the filter out without spilling is easy, and I use the big style filter, not the smaller one. Where the mess happens is when the filter is off, the block is draining a large amount of oil out all over the steering rack.
Not to diss ram, I love mine, but my 2006 F150 with the 5.4 had the filter in basically the same spot except it was on the drivers side. Ford had a stroke of genius and put a tray/funnel type thing there to guide the oil down to drain in a certain spot and not get all over everything.
One thing I have done in the past on my 5.7, is to take a grocery bag and put in on the oil filter(after I break it loose) and while im taking the filter off, stop and let the oil drain into the grocery bag. Works fairly well if you set it up right.
Like I said though, I think you may be fixing a problem that doesnt really exist, atleast not on the 5.7. Im not trying to be a know-it-all keyboard warrior, its just my opinion based on my experience with the same situation.
