Hello Forrest,

Thanks for including the axle tag, that is super helpful.

For your 3,000 lb Dexter torsion axle, you will want the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindle # BK2-100. Dexter torsion axles use the same spindles as a typical 3,500 lb axle.

You will need one kit per axle. Each kit includes new inner and outer bearings, races, grease seal, tang washer, and cotter pin.

Don't forget bearing grease in case you do not already have some on hand. The LubriMatic Marine Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease - 3 oz cartridges - Qty 3 # L54FR will work great.

Are you working on a boat trailer? What kind of boat do you have, and what are you catching? I have a Ranger and fish some local bass tournaments at Lake of the Ozarks and Mark Twain Lake here in Missouri, still chasing that 10 pounder.

Thank you a ton for looking into this this is super helpful. This is for a Livin Lite Camplite 16DBS travel trailer. But dang, etrailer pays enough that you have a Ranger? Y'all hiring? If not can we be best pals so I can come fish off your sick boat?

@Forrest My pleasure Forrest! I never said it was a new Ranger, LOL! BOAT= Bill out another thousand, had to put on a new motor last year, but we have to work so we can play harder! If you are ever in Missouri let me know =)

@KateF I thought i was cool when i put a trolling motor on my kayak. But then getting sunburn solely on my feet immediately relieved me of any such notion. Do you get to Nimrod Lake at all? I have buddies that have a campground there I go to sometimes. I know its a pipe dream, but the idea of going fishing with a local because my travel trailer has an unusual axle is just too much!

@Forrest I got a sunburn on my feet when I was like 13 that I will never forget, the worst sunburn was definitely 22 on my first float trip, we did not go floating in Cali where I grew up, we just went to the beach. I have not been to Nimrod Lake, just looked in up, down in Arkansas. I love working so much that I hardly use any of my vacation time. I just got a roof rack on my car and am looking to get a rooftop tent, so my saved up time will go to good use sometime in the near future. I'm still just fishing, somedays strictly fishing with no catching. I have been trying to take people fishing from work at Busch Wildlife which has like 35 small lakes, maybe more.... I am learning that fishing off a bank is not my thing, need to stick to the boats =)
