I used to make "Y" arms out of the stock arms. My buddy ran one on his rig for many years with sagged out 4" springs with no issues. It was basically the same arm that All-Pro used to make.

Search with "y arm"  .....lots of good info on old school crossover stuff.  Love to see Marlin bring the y-arm back to life. They do have their advantages.   ;)
