Are Dexter Hubs 8-24 and 8-249 the Same

Question:
My trailer hub is 8-247, can a 8-249 work in it’s place?

Expert Reply:
Hey Mike, yes because both hubs are for 3,500 lb axles. That said we don't carry the 8-247 so best option would be the # 8-247-50UC3 or any of the other hubs at the attached link on this page.
