does anyone know what the limit is on a tlt axle to the width that can be added with spacers and not start breaking the axle shafts

Seems to me the limitation isn't the axles themselves but rather where the steering knuckles mount (C-hubs). Longer axles are going to put more stress on the C-hubs and they're already a common breakage area with the stock axles.

so around 3/4 to an inch should be in the ok factor with the axle

where is the ussual breakage with the c-hub and is there a way to beef it up??
