I bought my big wheel kit from royaldistributing.com I don't know about slide life mine always wear up front but I never broke or bent any axles this year.
For "big" wheels I used Polaris wheels for the middle of the skid and I used the older SRX wheels on the rear axle. I believe the Polaris wheels are 5 3/8" compared to factory 5 1/8" factory. You can get the blue wheels as they will bolt right up from what I remember. I believe any year from 1998 or newer will work.

this is where I bought the oversize 7.5" rear SRX wheels. I think that I had to file down one of the spacers like an 1/8" as the bearings were a different thickness I believe, to get the spacing right. It's been a couple of years since I had to worry about this.
As far as slide wear, I went two seasons without any issues on a 136" Viper on the same slides, w/ more miles to go. I also do have the small wheel kit in the bend at the front.
I highly recommend this upgrade, as the skid definately rolls out easier.
