Hey Dustin, thanks for the information. To replace the bearings on your 5,100 lbs axles you'll need the Timken Bearing Kit item # TMK22VR. This kit includes the correct inner and outer bearings, races, and seals. You'll need one kit per hub.

Is this the first time you've swapped out the bearings and why the preference towards Timken or Dexter bearing kits?

I purchased and installed Timken bearings on my 2019 ORV RKS270 which has a GVW of 11,000#. We travel cross country annually and cover an average of 11,000 thousand miles. I have high confidence in Timken and prefer to perform routine maintenance. Good routine lubrication, including repacking bearings, good tires, properly inflated, and good components is my recipe. Do I endorse Timken, yes.
