Recommended Replacement Bearing Kit for a 2006 Stratos Trailer W/ 3.5K Axles

Question

Question:

Hello. We finally have some decent weather forecasted for the upcoming weekend and I’d like to take advantage of it and do bearings in my boat trailer. My boat is a 2006 stratos 180fs with a matching stratos trailer. Can someone please tell me which bearings I need? Perhaps send me a link? I’ve included a picture of the tag on the trailer. Thanks!

Hey Tommy thanks for the picture! It looks like your trailer's rockin' 3.5K axles which means the Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO Axles # BK2-100 is what you'll be needing.

This kit includes 1 outer bearing, 1 inner bearing, 1 inner cup, 1outer cup, 1 grease seal, 1 cotter pin, and 1 tang washer.
