We sure do. You'll need the # BK2-100 which provides an L44649 and L68149 bearing assembly, a L44610 and an L68111 race and a 10-19 grease seal (same as the GS-1917 you mentioned). The tang washer and cotter pin are also included. Each kit provides part for one hub. For a tandem axle trailer, you'll need 4 kits.

The Bearing Buddy bearing protectors are sold in pairs as part # BB24SR. For a tandem axle trailer, you'll need two pairs.

You'll choose the proper Bearing Buddy based on the outer bearing which in your case is L44649. The L44649 uses a race that fits a 1.98 inch diameter hub bore. You'll want to use a Bearing Buddy designed for that hub bore like the # BB1980A you referred to with the auto-check feature or the # BB24SR which doesn't provide the auto-check. Either Bearing Buddy will work for you.
