Hey David, from here we don't have a way to determine what hub you'd need. If you could somehow figure out the axle capacity that would be all that we'd need. I know the trailer is far enough away that it makes it difficult to easily get that info but if there's someone nearby who could check if you knew the trailer model you could check with Snowbear and they would definitely be able to get you that info.
