Axle shaft and CV strength?

I was wondering what the relative axle strength is in a 463. That is, are the front and rear shafts equal to D35s? D44s? Ford 9"? etc... What about the shaft diameter and/or spline count?
Also, how weak or strong is the front CV? Is it in the same ballpark as a D90 or FJ80? Any upgrade options such as Superior Axle or Longfields? My reason for asking is I'd like to run 35's on moderate trails without having to baby it too much. Is the driveline is up to the task or is this asking for a lot of trailside grief? Thanks for your help!
