Question:
Time to pack my bearings but i ran into the Oil bath bearing kits. I think id like to do that conversion. Seems like many choices. Can you help pick the correct ones? I have a 2014 Outback 298RE travel trailer. Ill see if i can find any info on the axle and forward that along too. Thanks.

Hey Perry, thanks for reaching out. We certainly should have the parts you need for an oil bath conversion, but I will need to collect a bit more info on your axle in order to be sure you get the right parts.
First I will need to know the weight capacity of each axle. That will help a lot to narrow down the right parts. I will also need to know the bearing sizes and seal size for your hub. You will need to get brand new bearings since you are switching over to oil. The best way to determine this is to pull a hub and remove the bearings. Each one will have a number stamped on the edge.
For example, the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit # XLPROLUBE1980KIT is for 3,500 lb axles and will fit the standard 3,500 lb axle with a 1.98" hub bore. The Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100 is also for 3,500 lb axles. It has the # L44649 outer and # L68149 inner bearing which is standard.
Provide me with your bearing numbers and axle capacity and I am happy to look into it and make sure you get the right stuff.
