Cryo treatment definitely does increase hardness (especially in higher alloy steels) and you can generally translate increased hardness into increased tensile strength. In most steels there is a linear relationship between brinell hardness and tensile strength.
It improves wear by as much as 200%, but not by substantial hardness increase.
Link for 4140 cold rolled data showed 7-17% increase in tensile strength, no change in hardness. If it were my ppf, I would not cryo it. I'd check the eng and diff mounts, and consider upgrades to them.
