Question:
Hi, I am looking at kits dx76er and dx27ur. What is the difference between the two? Thanks

Hey Seth. The Dexter Bearing Kit item # DX76ER includes a triple lip grease seal and a new tang washer but does not have a new dust cap.
The Dexter Bearing Kit w/ Dust Cap item # DX27UR includes a dust cap that fits a 1.980" pilot hole, a standard grease seal but it does not include a tang washer.
Other than that the bearing kits are the same. They include bearings, races, and a cotter pin. These kits are designed for 3,500 lbs axles and are sold per hub. You'll need two kits for each axle.
Out of those two options, I recommend the Dexter Bearing Kit item # DX76ER because it's got a better grease seal. This is definitely the one you want if you have a boat trailer.
What kind of trailer do you have?
