Bearing Kit and Bearing Buddy for Dexter 3500 lb Trailer Axle

Question

Question:

I have a Dexter Axle P-15 model SLR 3500lb with a 6 lug hub from 1999-2000. My Serial number is O 5512320. Is the BK2-100 bearing kit the proper kit for me? I would also like to add bearing buddies, would the Model 1980A-SS work? If it helps my hubs currently have the Dexter EZ Lube 85-1. thank you!
