While it is really easy to determine which Bearing Buddies are the correct fit for your Ranger boat trailer, we have no way to confirm a fit on any specific make or model. For you to confirm the right Bearing Buddies I'd need to know either the outer bearing number, or you'd need to measure the hub bores on your trailer's hubs using a digital caliper like # PTW80157, then match the hub bore diameter to the correct Bearing Buddies.

For example, outer bearings L44643, L44649, and L44640, or a hub bore diameter of 1.980 inches would mean you need the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS.

I've added a link to our selection of Bearing Buddies for you to check out when you find the measurement or bearing,
