Thanks!

Your answer is sorta in the instructions, but not completely. The single axle X4's: 0kN open (5-8 kN cammed, depending on size). Dual axle open: 9kN, 9 kN cammed,

C4's instructions don't explicitly say. They just give a strength rating (8-14 kN depending on size)and then just say they are ok to use in the open configuration. Since the dual axle X4's strength rating is the same in the open or cammed configuration it may be a good assumption that the same is true for C4's.

And you are definitely gunna die.
