Hey there Jeremy, and the short and sweet answer is yes, a 3,500 lb hub and drum with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern will indeed have the same bearings as a 3,500 lb hub and drum with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

So you can go ahead and use the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, 3,500 lb Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-35-K.
