$250 and you supply me a pair of arms
I do this becouse it is stronger than stacking the arms on nuts, where the drag link arm is placing the studs under shear loading.... you need a machined surface between the arms so that the studs are providing a clamping load... alot stronger, but still nowhere near as strong as a single piece arm!! if you have the money buy Jafa's arms

If you really don't have the money or you are determined to run this setup this is the best way I've come up with to make it as strong as possible
I machine a mating surface on both arms with a raised key that slots into the spacer block this, the studs replaced with extended length 4140 ones, the lower arm is mounted without the flat washers (nuts ontop of the tapper cones) torqued up to full torque, the spacer block gones ontop then the upper arm is put on I remove the kingpin keyway and machine a set of tapers for the cone washers in the backside of this so this arm can be torqued up to same setting, I also machine a taper into the opposite side of the drag link mount so you can mount the drag link top or bottom (bottom for clearance to the chassi, if you have enough clearance then you mount ontop to flaten your draglink angle and remove some bumpsteer


And yes it is certifiable
