Hey Stephen, yes you can use Lucas Red 'N' Tacky grease in Dexter axle hubs as its very similar to lithium complex EP grease. What axle capacity do you have?

Yes Lucas r&t is all I use and works well. I have a Dexter 3500 lb axel. Make sure you turn the wheel while slowly pumping in grease or it will blowout the back seal and gum up the brake pads. AND the hotter the day the better. Do not do when cold or wet weather
