Bearing Seal help

I have a 2011 Cherokee Grey Wolf 28A+KS, that weighs about 5800lbs dry. I have a hub that was pretty darn hot when I checked it after driving 200 miles back home. I need to get in there and replace the bearing seal and repack the bearings.
I have all the original paperwork for the trailer, and on most of it, they circled or marked the different items that were installed on the owner's manuals since most list multiple different items. Well, the Lippert Axle manual shows about 15 different axles, but they didn't mark which was installed! :( So, for those that might know, would a trailer weighing in at 5800lbs probably have dual 3500# axles, or are they the 5200 or 6000# axles?
I need that info to be able to get the right bearing seal. Anyone here have the same trailer or one similar that could tell me which axles come on it?
Thanks in advance!!
  • if you don’t see the metal band look for a label, it will be located on the back of the axle, on the road side…
  • Yeah, I knew they had the tag....I didn't mention that it is stored offsite, and I am trying to prevent a trip out to the trailer yard to go check it. I guess I might have to do that.
  • your Lippert axle should have an aluminum tag on it with the information you need… … wrapped around the tube…
