Thanks for all of the info!
For your application I recommend going with the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980-SS # BB84SR. These have a stainless steel constructions so they will last against the environment really well and these are designed for 3,500 lb axles with a 1.980" hub bore which it sounds like you have.
You can confirm this by measuring the diameter of your hub bore with a digital caliper to make sure what I mentioned above matches what you have.
