Hey, Brandon!
Good news, we have exactly what you want.
The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub # 8-258-50BTUC1 is a great match. It’s galvanized for corrosion resistance and comes as a complete kit with bearings, races, seals, lug nuts, and a center cap, so you’ll have everything you need to get it installed.
If you’re planning to replace all the hardware while you’re in there, you might also want to pick up the kit # CE552QR. That will cover things like the castle nut, washer, and cotter pin for one axle.

I purchased these hubs and bearings last year for my trailer as well. They worked out just fine. Easy to install. The only problem I had was taking off the race on the inner bearing. I drove for several miles before someone pulled up on the side of me to let me know that my wheel was smoking! It got so hot that the inner bearing race welded itself to the spindle! I had to use an angle grinder to cut it off! I also bought Bearing Buddies to use instead of the caps that came with the hubs. All-in-all it was a positive experience with the hubs and working with etrailer.
