is it possible to fit spacers to the lpg tank cradle thereby lifting it in the same manner as a body lift.

Depends on how the tank is held either in a cradle or not, may just be able to remount the cradle higher or just make a new one that is shorter and positions the tank higher.
Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.

If you find anything please post it up as I am looking to relocate my utes LPG tank under the tray...
Only problem is it's a big mutha, so I'm thinking of mounting it on the chassis rather then the tray itself (how it is now)....
and when I say big mutha think 180cm long & 60cm diameter.....
