Appreciate that info and photo, and I was able to find exactly what you need from Dexter when I contacted them with it. Per Dexter, that axle has a 2,800 lb capacity, and the exact parts you need for the hub and drum, self-adjusting electric brakes, bearing kit, and Bearing Buddy are the following:
- Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500 lb Axles # 84546UC3
- Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies # 23-468-469
- Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A-SS
- Hub Bearing Kit # BK2-100
A couple things to note are that even though the hub and drum, brakes, and bearing kit say "for 3,500 lb axles" they are correct for your spindle, which is generally on a 3,500 lb axle, but they'll fit yours. The hub and drum also comes with the bearings, races, and seal so you don't need the bearing kit to put the hub on your trailer(though it is certainly handy to have bearings on hand for when you want to replace them). Also, the brakes do come with the mounting hardware, so you do not need to get that separately.
Finally, for grease I recommend the LubriMatic Grease # L11380 with Bearing Packer # PTW1218.
