You'll need to measure your current bearing to determine the correct replacement for your Lowe's trailer with a 2,000 lb axle as we wouldn't have any way of knowing that off-hand; in order to do this you will need a digital caliper.

You can either measure your spindle where the bearing rides, or the bearing itself; for a 2,000 lb axle, the most common are either Bearing # L44649 with a 1.063" inner diameter or Bearing # L44643 with a 1.000" inner diameter.

If those aren't right I have added a link to all of our replacement bearings for you which you can filter by diameter, or you can let me know the measurements you get and I can try and locate the correct option.
