I have sand/lead filled the three posts of my Lovan Sovereign racks. I would just like to know is it better to sand/lead fill the small rectangle portion as well or should leave them empty?
It will takes a lot of time to fill them and will takes longer to get the filling out!
Please share your experience. Thanks.

Make sure you use RTV to seal the four sides of the bottom welded plate in your stand's feet. You will notice that they are only tack welded at the corners and over time, they will leak sand! On the filling the cross bars, which I believe you are referring to, there are a couple of small relief holes already punched into the cross piece. I would take some two part foam and simply inject it into the cross pieces. Easier, and you wouldn't have to worry about them continuously leaking sand. You can find in in Home Supply centers for insulation as well as boating supply houses.

I use a 50:50 mix of dry play sand and steel shot used in sandblasting. Lead crushed dynamics too much. The sand/steel shot mix was the best balance between retaining liveliness and microdynamics and damping.
Lead shot. Sand can get moldy if it's not completely dry.
I stuffed mine with polyester batting until well-packed. This is lighter than lead, sand, or kitty litter (which I used in the legs) and does not fall out. I also applied Dynamat X-treme to the inside faces of the rectangular beams.
Also try wrapping the cone feet with rubber tape to damp them.
and another option you could try is kitty litter.
