Default new axle or just spacers?

I want my raptor to be wider. Ultimately i want new a-arms and axle but i don't know if i really need the axle and a-arms. I don't jump much at all, just trail ride, nothing too narrow so width isn't much of an issue. My question is should i just get spacers front and rear at least for now, or should i get an axle now and spacers for the front? I really like the g-force axle and since i don't jump it should hold up just fine. Would that be a decent investment with a set of 1.5 inch spacers up front, should i just buy spacers for now, or should i just skip both for now until i can get a-arms and axle all at once?

I put durablue spacers around my rappy and couldn't be more happy with it for the $ I spent. I heard that the spacers will crack if I jump them? Well 2 bent axles later my spacers are in perfect condition, didn't hurt them a bit, spacers work.

I use those spacers on front and more then happy about them, I think they are better then dura blue spacers and cost less. Here is a link on them:

Yeah I like those too. Will spacing the front make it harder to turn or cause more wear on steering parts?
