Hi Marc! That particulr ShoreLand'r trailer typically has 3,500 lb axles. However, you will need to confirm this information. I recommend taking a look at your axle tags, it is typically listed on the tag.

Assuming that is correct, you can use the Kodiak Trailer Hub for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Stainless Steel # KH84545S you were looking at. This doesn't include bearings so you would also need the Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100. If this is a spare and you want a pre-greased option you could also use the galvanized # CE13515.

What kind of boat do you haul?

Thank you for this information. Can you also tell me the part #'s for the leaf springs and related components?

@MarcW you will have to measure the leaf springs for me to find the right replacement, again assuming 3,500 lb axles here. See the articles below. If you want shackle straps and equalizers (assuming tandem axle) those also have to be measured.
