Hello Jasper, thanks for reaching out. I can definitely help point you in the right direction. The best way to determine what bearings you need will be to pull a hub and remove the bearings. Each bearing will have a number stamped on the edge, or you can measure the ID with a micrometer. Also measure the ID and OD of your seal.
If you can provide me with your bearing numbers and seal size, I can tell you which bearing kit you will need.
