rear bag mount ideas.. overkill?

So the rear bag mounts for my s10 swap have been really bugging me and i know I'm really over thinking this whole thing most likely. First time ever doing something like this. I'm trying to do this with stuff i can buy at my local metal yard since all I've been using is a sawzall, angle grinder, miller welder, and a cordless drill.

What do you guys think about this its really rough and took my maybe 2 minutes on paint, so hopefully this makes sense. I want to keep the setup simple bag over axle and maybe stiffen the frame up while I'm at it since these s10 frame are like a damn noodle. I still need to measure the frame make sure its even doable.
** the 4 link is only half installed I'm waiting till i drop my bed on before setting the lower links incase i need to play with wheelbase**

The grey would be 2x4 .188 wall box tube black would be prebent 1.5" .188 dom tube. I figure with the box tube i can use a 1.5" hole saw and cut thru both sides and weld the tube in and cap the ends.

Or any other recommendations? I plan on using a mustang gas tank behind the axle so space is somewhat limited and i want to keep everything flush with the top of the frame rail so i can "maximize" bed depth the most i can




blank copy if anyone has an idea


hopefully this all makes sense
