Expert Reply:

Hub and drum assemblies, like the Dexter # 8-430-5UC3 you referenced, are universal so they typically fit any 9K - 10K axle just fine. With that being said, there are some exceptions out there so you just need to confirm that your axle uses a # 387A inner bearing, a # 25580 outer bearing, and that the inner diameter of your grease seal is 2.875" to ensure that this fits.

Pull your current hub and check the numbers on your bearings to confirm this. If you can't find the numbers then Lippert should be able to confirm this on their end (if you can get me a picture of the axle tag), and as a last resort you can use a digital caliper to measure where your bearings and seal sits on your spindle. . I have attached a photo to assist you in this.

This hub and drum assembly can be used for either electric or hydraulic brakes so you're good on that side of things, but it is worth noting that this is an oil bath application so if you currently have grease for your hub/drum that will need to be thoroughly cleaned off of the spindle and you'll need to use bearing oil like part # XLPROLUBE instead.
