Honestly, as long as its a #2 high heat/EP lithium complex youre good to go.
R&T is a good grease thats available nationwide at many retailers. If I run out I can get it everywhere.

When I did mine last spring, I just took one into NAPA and the matched it up. I went with National duo lip. Most axles use the same hubs and bearings. I know its nice to have parts on hand before you start, but so many times i order the wrong parts :("No place to go, No hurry to get there"

I have the same axles on my 2600 as Remie. Manufactured two days earlier than his. I would also like to go with the Timken bearings, races & seals. Sounds like Yoda didn’t find a cross reference from Timken?

There should be Timken equivalents. But . . . don’t assume that the Timken name means “made in America”. Used to be that way, but not anymore. If the bearings you have are well seated and showing no signs of distress . . . stay with what’s working. (in my opinion).

I agree on the Timkens, they arent what they used to be. I moved on to other brand(s)2021 Reflection 337RLS, 2024 Silverado 3500HD 6.6 gas with faux Allison 10 speed. Nellie the Diva, wonder boxer

First get you build sheet from Dexter, but assuming nothing has changed on the 4400lb axles
Bearing 1 Dexter 031-032-02 crosses to cup LM67010, cone LM67048 - Timken SET6
Bearing 2 Dexter 031-033-02 crosses to cup L68111, cone L68149 - Timken SET17
Seal Dexter 010-019-00 - Timken 473336
Dexter parts break downs
https://www.dexteraxle.com/product/2603/69/bearing-kit This is where I got the separate bearing part numbers. They can be also fond under the separate bearings.
Timken cross over - look in the details However some cross overs are incorrect directing you to set 13 which has an incorrect cup withe correct cone, so pay attention

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tmk-set6
Try and find USA made sets. Amazon is not. When I got mine for Summit they were USA made - stamped on the box.
Also note bearings must be replaced as a set (cone and cup).

Did they happen to give you the details dimensions/specifications? Have you checked with you local GD dealer as mine carries seals - but pricey. At least you can check part # The only real way to know is to measure the hub dia? I was trying to find the Timken part number for you as I believe they are better made.
I did find this https://www.amazon.com/Lippert-12208.../dp/B00JMHF5W0 However not sure it fits based on the other info out there.
On edit - from LCI https://store.lci1.com/172in-id-doub...-2-pack-333960 Note cross reference at bottom to 122087 part number is superseded
Also found the Timken interchange site and that number does not come up https://www.timken.com/engineering-t...election-tool/ and that is puzzling too.
Trying to help as I have ordered the wrong stuff before for my unit.

Seal part number 122087-SEAL - 1.72 SHAFT X 2.561 BORE X .50 - DL

Edit to add that I also requested bearing part numbers and a spec sheet.
I was advised that no spec sheet is available, but the bearings are;

Timken part numbers in case you would like to purchase locally.
L68149-inner bearing

I just did a repack and inspection on our 337RLS. When we got the trailer the rear seals were blown out from overzealous greasing and it required a very lengthy cleaning to get them serviceable.. As a result of the grease Dexter warrantied me a full set of brake assemblies. My initial plan was to run the originals after I cleaned them (I think I used 2 cans of Brakleen on each of them) and see how they performed. They seemed adequate so I used the originals for the 4 yrs we have had this trailer. I would guess we are somewhere over 12k miles on them. The wear looked good but the rear axle had some issues with the swing arm that the magnet is mounted on. The right rear (the worst contaminated one initially) was just barely hanging on to the pivot pin at the top and the cam block between the shoes was gone. I have no idea where it went but I suspect its been gone for a while since this assembly has always been loose and floppy. I doubt that this wheel was doing much braking if any, fortunately the hub surfaces werent damaged. I decided to use the replacements that I had so the rear axle now has all new brakes. The hubs looked good and the bearings looked brand new and cleaned up well. After a repack they were good as new. The front axle brakes looked good and operated properly so I cleaned and lubed them and left them in service. The front bearings were in good condition so they got packed and put back.
On a side note, when I did the last repack 2 yrs ago I used Lucas on one side and some Kendall super blue (Both Lithium based #2 EP greases) on the other since I only had enough left for 2 wheels and it had been around for a while. No difference in the grease after this interval, both sides looked good and arguably didnt even really need a repack. Most of my repacks have been more for inspecting brakes than repacking. The bearings seem to be holding up very well.
Unless I hear something or feel a difference in braking effort I will probably go 3 yrs on this service. I am not getting any younger and working on my knees is getting harder every time.
