Expert Reply:
If you have 3,500 pound axles, the hubs you need depend on if you have brakes or not on the trailer. Here are the hub recommendations:
- Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKHD-545-35-K (compatible with brakes)
- Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # AKIHUB-545-35-K (without brakes)
However, it is extremely important to note that these hubs are only compatible if you have 3,500 pound axles. In order to confirm the axles you have, I recommend making sure that your inner bearing is part # L68149 and the outer bearing is # L44649. Bearing numbers are on the outer ring of the part.
