Thanks for the picture! I would be happy to help you. For your Loadmaster Gooseneck Trailer you are going to want the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. These hubs will fit your spindle, they have inner bearing of # 25580 (1.75" inner diameter) and an outer bearing of # 15123 (1.25" inner diameter). All bearings, races, and seals are included along with a E-Z Lube-compatible grease cap. These hubs have a 6,000 lbs capacity and a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. The hubs are sold individually.

You will also need a tube of the LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge item # L11390. I recommend one per axle.

The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing #L68149 and an outer bearing #L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com…
