It looks like the 10 ft Triton Lite trailers were built with 2,000 lb Dexter axles. There are two bearing kits we carry that may work for you and the best way to determine which kit is the correct kit for your trailer is to compare the part numbers of your current bearings with the part numbers of the bearing kits. Bearing Kit, # BK1-150, uses L44649 inner and outer bearings. Bearing Kit, # BK1-100, uses L44643 inner and outer bearings. The part number of the bearings will be stamped into the metal of the bearing.

If you do not have the current or the bearings are too damaged to identify, the second best method is to measure the spindle using a precise measuring tool like a dial caliper. The difference between the diameters of the spindles these bearing kits fit is only a few hundredths of an inch, so it is important that we know the exact diameter of your spindles.

I have attached a diagram and a table that shows where to measure on your spindle and what those measurements should be for each bearing kit. The diagram also shows where you can locate the part numbers on the bearing and grease seal.
