Thank you for the pictures!

To fit your 4400lb Lippert axles you will need Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA which will replace the Lippert 122259 brake assemblies you have.

To verify which hub and drum assembly is correct for your trailer you will need to remove your hub and drum assembly and check the outer bearing numbers. If your bearings are worn to where you can't read the numbers, you will need to measure your spindles with digital calipers like # PTW80157 and use the attached photo of how to measure your spindle.

The Drum and Hub replacement should be Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-655-6-K which uses inner bearing # 25580, and outer bearing # 15123. The other option is Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which uses inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # LM67048.
