From my research your trailer likely has a 3,500 pound axle. Which means it probably has inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649, and the hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. You definitely want to verify this before purchasing anything.

If I'm correct then I recommend # AKHD-545-35-K for the hubs. Or # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if it has an E-Z Lube axle that has a zerk fitting on the spindles.

To determine if these are the correct parts you'll need to pull the hubs and check the bearing numbers. If you can't read the bearing numbers then measure the spindle where the bearings sit with a digital caliper like # PTW80157. The inner bearing of this kit measures 1.378 inches and the outer is 1.063 inches.
