DC8 has some long legs (landing gear) the limitations I posted were for -7x models, those have the CFM engines, the inboard pod is only 15-18 inches off the ground nose level, the more you pitch up the more clearance you have on that inboard pod. The wingtips are also fairly close to the CG of the aircraft so they dont "dip" quiet as much as something like a Citation X or even an MD80 series. The citation on the other hand has a max bank of IIRC 14 degrees or you will drag the wing tip, short landing gear, relatively long wing.
