It would help prop shaft angles only if flanges were parallel, but they are not on G and if Canadian army vehicles are not using different axle housings with different pinion angle lifting with frame drop brackets makes prop shaft situation worse than regular lift. Positive effects are caster correction, better seated springs and shocks, also longer trail arm end bushings life.

W463 has only center prop shaft CV style, front and rear are same as on W460.

Canadian Military front and rear axle (just for discussion sake):

And since I seen the word "portals" mentioned...look how beefy the 6200kg units are!

Drool all the way around! Someday I hope to visit Guido's house of G Class. Just a few frames on the rack behind the single cab, I'm going to buy a couple powerball tickets tonight and maybe I can start collecting more stuff.
