Based on the dimensions you listed it sounds like you have a 2,000 lb capacity axle with hubs that use bearings # L44643. That would mean that the correct seal kit should be part # BB60005 but you'll want to also verify that your current seals have an outer diameter of 1.98 inches.

Based on the measurements you gave me the Spindle Grease Seal Set, part #BB60005, would be the correct seal for your spindle. Since your previous seal had an o-ring and this #BB60005 has an o-ring also then this would be the correct part for you.

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…
