For the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K, there isn't an exact size Bearing Buddy available. The Bearing Buddy protectors # BB1980A-SS are the closest to the 1.99 size you need. They all measure 1.980 inches diameter. This most likely will still work, however there is a 1/100ths of an inch difference that would allow some grease to work its way out.

In order to determine if we have an axle that would bolt right up to what you have without welding we need to know the distance between your spring seats on center. We also need to know hub face to hub face dimension of your current axle as well.
