We do carry the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-214-5UC1 which is an oil bath assembly for a 10,000 lb axle, but unfortunately we do not carry a spindle that is compatible with it. You would need to source that elsewhere, but I can give you some information so that you can be sure to get the correct spindle.

If you look at the linked photo you will notice the highlighted B, C, and D spots. On the spindle that you purchase you need to make sure that B, where your seal sites, measures 3.125", the C inner bearing spot measures 2.625", and the D spot for the outer bearing measures 2.250". You can also verify if you can find the bearing and grease seal part numbers on your current hub. Inner bearing is 395S, outer bearing is 387A, and grease seal is 10-56.

A review video has been linked for youto reference as well.
