Why would you go to all the expense of replacing your tiny cv's with larger stronger alternative and not fit the rear carrier for a few quid more for all the benefits it would give
The shafts would be bigger diameter (and a couple of mm here give a big percentage increase in torsional strength)
More splines=more points of contact=less chance of stripping splines.
4pin diff shares the balance load with 2 more gears so that effectively doubles its strength though the diff gears.
All this extra strength is useless without correct assembly and maintenance.
