The closest Bearing Buddy we have to a 2-1/8 measurement is going to be a slightly larger set that measures 2.240 inches, # BB2240 or # BB2240SS. In order to determine the correct Bearing Buddy for your trailer, the best way is to get the inner and outer bearing numbers on the bearings and/or the number on the outer cup (race).

The Bearing Buddy part numbers listed above fit 1700 series outer bearings with race model 1729.
