Dexter 3500 lb Trailer Bearing Kit vs WPS Trailer Bearing Kit #1149

Both kits carry the same core bearings (L68149 inner, L44649 outer) and races (L68111, L44610), so hub fitment is identical on a 3,500 lb #84 spindle. The Dexter-compatible kit is the fuller one: it adds the 1.99 in grease cap with plug, spindle retainer and a 10-19 double lip seal, so one box finishes the job. The #1149 kit is leaner but its spring-loaded double lip seal is the better seal design, and its owners rate it higher. Buy the Dexter kit for a full repack with a new cap; buy the #1149 kit if your cap and retainer are reusable and you want the upgraded seal.

• Choose the Dexter-compatible 3500 lb kit if you are doing a full hub rebuild and want the grease cap, retainer and cotter pin in the same box.
• Choose the #1149 kit if your dust cap and spindle retainer are still good and you want the spring-loaded double lip seal.
