Hey Jon, thanks for the information. The only 5 on 4-1/2 hub we have that fits a spindle with item # LM11949 and item # LM67048 bearings is an idler hub. It's the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 item # DX22XR.

I am sorry but we do not have a brake drum that fits your spindle.

Thank you Jerred, for the info. What I have done is removed the backing plates with all the brake shoe stuff. since they were all shot anyway. And have opted to go with all hub's instead of the brake drum's. I have been running this trailer with no brakes for the past two years with no issue. So I will convert all four wheels over to hub's.
