So the brand is etrailer brand, but I believe you are likely asking the manufacturer, which is AxleTek for the 7K hub and drum you asked about:

- Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-865-7-1-K

The # AKHD-865-7-1-K comes pre-greased and includes the bearings, races, and grease seal so you're all set with this hub and drum combo.

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
