Question tank relocation

A little help,please.
I have a '72 stepside that is lowered 4" in the rear. Presently running a fuel cell in the bed. I'm going replace the fuel cell with a rear tank. My question is, what is the best 21 gal tank to use and will it hang too low? i'm considering the LMC Blazer kit. Any suggestions/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

When I built my 67 stepside I wanted the tank out of the passenger compartment but the truck used an ECE 4/6 drop kit. The rear shock relocator and super track bar set the lowest point on the suspension so I looked for a tank that would fit between the frame rails, and stay above the lowered shock mount. Stan at ECE told me the blazer tank would be just below that point so I went with their "copperhead style" 18 gallon stainless tank. Very pricey compared to the LMC Blazer tank, is only 18 gallons, but it does stay above the lowest point on the rear axle.
