Hey William, welcome back. The Kodiak Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles item # Q-HUB84545 has a 1.98" hub bore. You'll need the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A-SS w/ Auto Check - Stainless Steel (Pair) item # BB1980A-SS.
Is this for a boat trailer? If not you can use the chrome item # BB1980A.
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
