I did this on a SWB. I had a BL though. I cut the mounts off each end. So then the towbar was up the way I wanted. Drilled new holes in the top of the chassi.
I also welded some 75x75 on to the ends and made a wrap around bar (had no lower qrt's either.

you would ahve to have a very long drop toung to get the tow ball anywhere near the right height with thoat thou. My standard tow bar is to high already.

thanks heaps 4 the pics does anyone ever have issues with damaging the fuel tank. i took my original towbar off. then caved the fuel tank in and ruptured the seams on the tank. it now leaks with more than half a tank. ha ha.

someone told me you can raise the tank on the utes but not sure about a wagon.
it just involves lifting the tank and using the tank mounts ontop of the chassis instead of mounting under the chassis. although i havent seen it in person.

I had a LRA 130lt tank, that I had lifted 50mm. Didn't hit it much. And when I did I didn't really care. Seemed to take the abuse.
