Personally, I don't see where a wider axle would help at all on hill climbs. If you were to lengthen the swing arm, that would help but not wider. The only place that it would help would be on side to side stability like in off camber areas to some extent.

i have a banshee and all i do is hill climb. i also have a blaster. the best thing to do would be get a new set of tires super swampers are the best. they might make you have to climb hills in a lower gear than usual but you will climb alot better. also a boost bottle and make sure when you jetted your bike after getting a new pipe you put new pilot jets in. a knn would be good too.

the super swampers are utlility atv tires and i just bought new holeshots is there anything that i can do so i have more traction without getting new tires the ones i have have good traction but the hills are so steep that you have to lean forward or you flip and its taking weight away from the rear and the tires just start to spin because of alot of loose debris like leaves sticks and rocks.

Your best bet would be to leave air out of your tires the less air in them the more traction

im telling you super swampers they make them the size you need for a blaster. come to where the real hill climbs are and tell me superswampers dont work. ive climbed all types of hills ones that have sticks and everything superswampers r the way to go.
ive climbed hills with lips at the top that your completely vertical the i dont see how you flip back wards unless there is nos on your blaster or sumtin
