Yes, the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles part # XLPROLUBE1980KIT is compatible with spindles that have grease/zerk fittings in the ends or otherwise known as EZ-Lube. If you wish, you can remove the fittings but they will still fit with the fittings in place regardless. The fittings are either threaded on or pressed in.
