Diamonds are forever?

Alright simple question, I decided to build some axles and my knowledege is a little low on this subject. Yes I searched and didn't find any answers to my delimma. So I want to know the best setup, I have a 88 4runner with soon to be supercharged 3.4, run 37-42" tires, Ultimate duals, and will see rocks, sand, snow, and alot of street time. I like diamond axles don't really care on the price will save and have it done right the first time. I like there 9/60 but I'm confused on all that, want to carry minimum parts as possible.
Also would like to run hp 5.29 arb.

sounds like you are well beyond most knowledge on this forum. you have a serious rig going on. i recommend you create an account on pirate 4x4. those guys are a lot more hardcore into trail rigs like what youre talking about

Looking for full width type with high clearance and light weight. I think I will give diamond a call and see what they recommend, I think I want to have 65-67wms.

Like the dynatrac axles but they still look real low I'm concerned about clearance, not making a mall crawler here haha, I'd rather slide over crap then get hung up on things. Snow and sand are my biggest concerns.

Did a lot more searching and a lot more reading, think I am going with diamonds housings, front and back, front will be ford 9 center with 60 outers, true high 9 3rd with either 5.38 or 5.14 gearing, arb, 6 lug, chromo shafts, 35 spline the works, rear will be 9 center with true high 9 3rd as well, arb, 6 lug, you know the rest.. What to you think? Un breakable or way to much $$$ for a set of axles?

I think you're way beyond sebastians knowledge and he should speak for himself instead of trying to judge the cumulative knowledge that this forum has.

So, I think his statement was idiotic.
