I'd be happy to get you the correct bearing for your trailer with Dexter axles, and while the 8-219 narrows things down a bit there's still a two options so you'll need to take one measurement to confirm which kit is right for you.

The 8-219 hubs could have either a 2.125" grease seal, or a 2.250" grease seal so you'll need to use calipers like # PTW80157 to precisely measure the surface of your spindle where the seal rides.

If you find you have the 2.125" grease seal you'll need (4) of # BK3-210.

If you have the 2.250" grease seal you'll need (4) of # BK3-200 instead.
