The only difference between the # RG06-050 and Timken # TMK58ZR is the brand and quantity. Timken is typically considered to be a high quality brand, particularly for their USA made bearings. The # RG06-050 comes with two seals so it is the better value. Outside of that, they are both the standard 10-19 grease seal you would find on your typical 3,500 lb axle.

Hey Roger, for the Lippert 4,000 lb trailer axle we have found that the bearings used are the same as the 3,500 lb axles so you would just need the part #BK2-100 for a kit that includes the bearings and the seal.

Most WD shanks that fit a 2-1/2" receiver taper down to the normal 2" receiver size, just like the Equal-i-zer Shank #EQ90-02-4700. The only thing that you need to be sure of is that the mounting holes are in the same space. I have linked a…
