From what I could find out about the Lippert 3,500 pound axles, they use the inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649, so the Bearing Kit # BK2-100 will be the correct bearing replacement kit for your needs. The included cotter pin and tang washers are pretty standard and should not cause any issues.

I should note that it is best to double check the bearing numbers when a hub is removed, however. These numbers can become worn off over time, so you can also measure the inside diameter of each to make sure as well. The # L68149 will have an inner diameter of 1.378 inches and the # L44649 will have an inner diameter of 1.063 inches.
