Hey Winfred!

You likely have a 3,500 lb axle with an #84 spindle that the Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100 works with, but without knowing the weight rating of your axle this is just a total guess.

I'll need you to either confirm that your hubs use an L68149 inner bearing, L44649 outer bearing, and a grease seal with a 1.719" inner diameter, or verify what the weight rating is for your axle in order to see if we have something that might work.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
