Has anyone installed front or rear wheel spacers on the raptor? Would they hold up?

I have 2.5 inch spacers on each rear. They're the durablue ones. I ride in the dunes and they work great in high speed, long sweeping corners. A little slower turning in the tighter corners. They will hold up, but my brother bent his axle, we're constantly making sand tracks and jumping 60ft or so on our tracks. He weighs almost 250lbs.

I'm not too fond of wheel spacers. They put more stress on your axle, which is not the strongest part of the Raptor, by the way. I think an extended axle is the way to go. I've never used front wheel spacers, so I won't comment, but I would feel safe to say extended a-arms would be a better choice.
