Hey Hoss, do you happen to know the axle capacities on your trailer? I'd imagine what you have is either a 6k or 7k axle setup but it's always a good idea to verify.

If you do have a 6k axle the correct bearing kit would be the part # BK3-210 or 7k part # BK3-200.

Hi, its a 7k axle per axle. Just want to make sure BK3-100 and not BK3-200?

@Hoss In that case it's probably the part # BK3-210 that you need actually. You would want to measure the diameter of the spindle where the seal rides though to be sure. This is kit you'd need if that diameter is 2.125 inch.
