Are Bearings From BK2-100 Top Quality

Question

Question:

I have a Carson two axle car trailer that uses your BK2-100 wheel bearing kit. Up until now, I have replaced the failed bearings with a similar kit purchased at AutoZone. I check for wheel play and grease the bearings before every trip, I install them following your specific instructions. The trailer load is half the maximum for this trailer. They dont last more than 3,000/4,000 miles. Could it be poor bearing quality? Are your bearings top quality for long life?
