Default Axle question

ok so my Axle is 32" long and has 4 1/4 key ways spaced out. my question is can i use a longer Axle that has the 1/4 key way all the way through to mount wider tires, sprocket, band brake, and axle hubs, or will this be a bad ideal? im new to the Buggy building and looking for some help.

Shouldn't be an issue as this is how most aftermarket axles are configured.

Ha plenty of people do it. The only concern I can think of is that if you go wide and the axle mounts are in too far (which accomodate the factory length axle fine) it puts stress on the axle and you have the potential to bend it easier.
