Stock bearings will work, but you should buy new and replace them unless they're only a few months old.

Pros: better handling, better turning, lighter
Cons: Not free, can handle oddly if the front isn't extended also.

what axel are you looking at buying, becuase my g-force came with adjustable spacers to adjust from a stock to a +2 or a +4.

there are quite a few to look at. typically, most aftermarket axles for raptors are adjustable +2 or +4 from stock.

here are a few possibilities:

Lonestar
RPM
Team
G-Force
Durablue
