Default 1.5 inch or 1 inch front wheel spacers?

I'm going to buy the G Force +2-4 axle for the back of my raptor. I think I'm going to have it set up for the +4 inches total width. I'm not sure if I should get the G Force 1 inch wheel spacers, for a total of 2 inches for the front, or maybe the UM or Durablue 1.5 inch wheel spacers, for a total of 3 inches. I've heard of people having problems with the durablue spacers in the front, and I also heard that maybe front wheel spacers might be bad for the bearings? Does anyone have advice on this? I'm thinking if the added width in the front puts more stress on the bearings, maybe I'll just widen the front 2 inches instead of 3. Would it handle weird if the back is widened by 4 inches, and the front only by 2 inches?

Thanks a bunch for any help, I'm going to be ordering these tonight hopefully from rockymountain

Neither. Just get the Exteended axle and you will be fine.

If you winden the back and not the front, it doesn't make the handling feel weird?

Thanks for your response

If you're going to be jumping (big stuff) avoid spacers as they might break...Putting spacers in the front will make it handle "funny" and a +2 axle should be fine...i wouldn't think you'd need a +4 total
