Best Bearing Kit for 2015 Aliner Ranger 12 with 3000-lb Off-Road Axle
Question:
I have an 2015 ALiner Ranger 12 with a 3000lb axle and 14” tires. By chance do you know wheel bearings I need? Thank you

I checked the specs on the Aliner Ranger 12 on their website and the optional off-road axle is indeed rated for 3000-lbs. They do not provide bearing information unfortunately.
There are common bearing sets used in axles of any given weight capacity and the linked article lists these. Typically a smaller single axle RV will have an axle that is actually rated for 3500-lbs. Axles with this rating most often use inner bearing # L68149, outer bearing # L44649 and grease seal # 58846. If your Aliner happens to use these parts you can use the kit # BK2-100 that you referenced which includes bearings, races, grease seal, tang washer and cotter pin.
The foolproof way to know which replacement bearings and seal to use is to pull one of the hubs and remove those parts so you can wipe them clean and find their part numbers. The photo I linked for you shows the usual placement of the part numbers.
You may also care to order bearing grease # L11380.
