Hey Josh

4kg on the top stage is WAY too light you need to add at least another 4kg!! Your all up sled weight needs to be a minimum of 15kg before the arm springs will even work!!! The other guys running the rig are reporting sled weights of 40lbs + Then it works well!!! My sled is around 14kg and my springs have to be at minimum tension to work!!! I would think that around 20kg worth of sled will work the arms really well but I haven't been brave enough to get up that high!! When my wedding season stragglers are finished I will try a heavier sled.
