Expert Reply:

The Lippert 4,400 lb axles use the same bearings and seals as a Lippert 3,500 lb axle so you can use the Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle part # BK2-100 or just the Grease Seal part # RG06-050.

@Norman Lippert is a little funny when it comes to their 4,400 lbs axles. They don't have a true standard 4,400 lbs axle. Instead, they have some that use the same inner and outer bearings as a 3,500 lb axle (# L68149 and # L44649) and some that match the Dexter 4,400 lbs axles which use inner and outer bearings # L68149 and # LM67048. Anytime I see one of these 4.4K Lippert axles I ask to pull out the inner and outer bearings and either find the bearing numbers or measure the ID with a micrometer. If the outer bearing surface on the spindle measures 1 inch, then you will want the # L68149 and # L44649 bearings and if it measures 1.25 inches, then you will want the # L68149 and LM67048 bearings.

For a Lippert 4,400 lb trailer axle the correct bearing kit is the part #BK2-100 which includes inner bearing #L68149, inner race #L68111, outer bearing #L44649, outer race #L44610, grease seal #58846, a cotter pin and a tang washer.

What's up, Chuck? You can definitely use higher-rated springs for your trailer, and for that I recommend checking out the 25-1/4" Long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,400-lb Trailer Axles #DX95CR. Be sure to change out the leaf springs on…

Answer 6

A 4,400 pound Lippert axle has a 6 on 5/12 bolt pattern and uses bearings #L44649 and #LM67048. So a good replacement hub that includes a bearing kit is part #8-407-5UC3-EZ.

The ALKO 4,400 lb axles use the same bearing sizes as the standard 3,500 lb alxes. If you want USA made bearings, I recommend the Bearing Kit #TMK52VR. This kit comes with the Timken brand bearings which are all made here in the USA.

Many times Dexter hubs will fit on a Lippert axle, but Lippert does have a few axles out there with special spindle sizes. Every Lippert axle comes with a tag or plate on the axle that gives a serial number or NV number. If you can give me that…

The CRE3000 is a great kit but I would need to verify the axle capacity of your trailer as well as the distance between your axle centers to recommend what would be your best option.
