Should be ok. Would normally use a 4"x2" wood frame with 18mm ply on top, then allowing for a mortar mix then probably 2" for the tray - sounds about right.
The Clue is in the question...think about itWhy on earth buy a low profile shower tray then build a frame which raises it to 7"?

There's the question, but no clue as to why you bought a round peg for a square hole.Is 7" to high of a step ??

OK.
1) you've already got a showertray lying about that is unsuitable for where you want to fit it
2) you've already got a showertray fitted with no trap/pipework because there's insufficient space
3) you bought a wholly unsuitable showertray
4) you are re-siting a low profile showertray
Eenie, meenie mynie or mo? Or something I've not thought of?
'I need to raise my low profile shower tray to get the trap/pipes in' is not a question.

You rescued it from a skip?
You've had a few helpful posts. I was confused as to why you were botching a showertray for a purpose it was not specifically designed.
Helpful? 362 "Thanks" answers that question for you.
The whole point of a 'low profile' shower tray is to be 'low profile' from the floor up. You will not have a low profile, reduced height step showertray if you raise it up on 4X2 timber, or anything else, for that matter - unless you raise the whole bathroom floor on 4X2 . The trap/waste pipe would normally be fitted below floor level.I thought the whole point of a low profile shower tray was to reduce the height of the step???
