The Dexter E-Z Lube Hub and Drum assembly that would work for your Lippert axles with the bearing and seal numbers you provided is part # 42866UC3-EZ. This fits 5200 lb to 7000 lb axles that require a 2-1/4 inch ID grease seal. The drum dimensions for this measure 12 inches diameter by 2 inches wide. I would recommend new drums like this unless yours happen to be in great condition still.

We had a customer give us the bearing numbers of their Lippert 7k hub and they were # 14125A and # 25580.

For assemblies you would want the part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side and part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left hand side.
