There is no difference between these parts the 8-388-30 is simply Dexter's updated part number for the # 8-388-80UC3. The part will work on Dexter Nev-R-Lube Axles that are 6,000 lb capacity and will give you a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. This is the same assembly used on 5200 lb axles as well.

The inner diameters of the LM67048 and 15123 both are the same (1.250 inches). That means that a hub with either bearing in the outer bearing would fit your spindle. The part #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K would fit your axle.

The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing #L68149 and an outer bearing #L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com…
