Any one have any ideas on who could do this oh and im in the west of Melbourne

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.

thought of that but the cradle is bolted to the bottom of the chassis not the top

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.....
