I have a set of old 6500-7200lb dexstar axles. I am wondering what bearings are appropriate and if you sell a kit?

In order to determine the correct replacement bearings and seals for your older 6,500 lb - 7,200 lb axles you'll need to pull the hub and look for part numbers on the bearings/seals and/or measure the spindle at the different places where the bearings and seals ride so we can compare that to our selection bearing parts.

If you had newer axles I would be able to tell you what fits right off the bat but unfortunately a lot of the older axles used different parts that aren't common combinations right now so we need to double check before choosing anything.

Attached is a photo showing where to look for the part numbers as well as where to measure on the spindle. I'm also linking our selection of bearings and seals for you to filter through. This includes individual bearing/seal parts as well as kits like part # BK3-200 that's for a modern 7,000 lb axle.
