For a Lippert 4,400 lb trailer axle like what you have on your R-pod the correct bearing kit is the part # BK2-100 which includes inner bearing # L68149, inner race # L68111, outer bearing # L44649, outer race # L44610, grease seal # 58846, a cotter pin and a tang washer. For grease the best is the LMX Red grease part # L11390 which is compatible with what you have now in the hub. This is the most heavy duty and waterproof option.
