Looks like a 4" and 4.75" backspacing are listed in the catalog.

H2's are 5 5/8" so a 4.75 should work for you.

Smike think about the spinning mass of that tubing,  call OEM he got the right stuff in stock.

.250 is the thickest I'd go and really should be plenty.

I broke parts when I had a .180 wall shaft before I damaged the tubing.

at race speeds too thick of drive shaft will destroy the u-joints and pinion bearings.

im not really understanding the physics behind that, assuming the shaft is relatively balanced....


I can build it myself for less that what it costs me to drive out there twice in diesel and lost work time  :/    i know he makes good stuff, its just really hard for me to make it happen.

Smike I think it has to do with centrifigual force.  Force= mass * acceleration. nothing is ever perfectly balanced therefore what is out of balance should weigh the least possible.  I am not pushing OEM, just made a suggestion.
