Question:
I called Carson Trailer to see if it was possible to narrow it down. They said that they installed either 5000# axles or 6000# axles and have no way of narrowing it down. Do these axle capacities provided by Carson correspond to the 2 part numbers that Jameson provided in his answer? If yes, then I will just purchase a couple of each.

There are two possible bearing kits for your trailer's 5,200 lb axles. There's the more common part # BK3-310 and the less common part # BK3-300.
The difference is the seal size. The part # BK3-300 has a seal with an inner diameter of 2.25 inch and the # BK3-310 has a seal with an inner diameter of 2.125 inch which is the more common size. I can't tell you beyond that which for sure would be correct.
