Hey Brandon,

The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980KIT could potentially work, but you'll need to confirm the diameter of the bore hole in the hub for the oil cap and oil seal. You'll need to use a caliper # PTW80157 to get a precise measurement to fourth decimal place. The oil seal is designed to fit on a 1.720" diameter spindle and has an outer diameter of 2.560". You can check your spindle at point B for the inner diameter and the inside of the hub for the outer diameter. For the oil cap you just need to measure the inside of the hub to see if it's 1.98" in diameter.

If yours varies from this sizing let me know and I can see if there's an alternative available.

Seal Bore and shaft are 2.3265" is my bore Dia. And 1.688-1.692" it has a stainless wear sleeve thus the variance on that dia.. Cap bore size is 2.325". All I really need is a pair of quality seals probably 3 lip and some new transparent caps and o rings. Bearings feel good caps are stained non transparent now. For reference hub is rotor hub ufp 32861 I believe it says and seal says ad2527e

@BrandonS Grease Seal # 168233 would be the closest option we offer with a 1.688" ID & 2.332" OD. With it being a larger outer diameter it would be a very tight fit to get in place.
