I like it... had a similar plan for mine.
A couple questions and such... (I don't have paint so I'll have to try to draw a mental picture.
#1 The truss ends terminate a bit short of the spring perches (which appear to be beefy MORE units or something similar.
Wouldn't it be better to have extended the truss to tie into the sides of the perches? It would make a less acute angle as well as bridge things in better?
#2 Lightening holes vs sealing: Boxed like that, given the existing welds, I'd add the 3 tube welds as suggested - or 360*, and I suppose that good caulk could seal the gaps pretty well.
My thoughts were to have the lightening holes (dimple die cut? or plasma?saw cut) also split along the tube. This would allow mud & debris to be hosed out, and reduce both the weight and the length of bead to run along the tubes.
More work for more better?
I like what you have done so far though... worlds better than stock.
