- I have included a picture that should help. When the trailer is coupled to the truck there should be 16 to 24 inches between the bumper of the truck and the trailer. If you are at the lower end of the range or just want peace of mind that clearance will not be an issue at the back of the truck I recommend an adapter with an offset, # AM3139, which has 8 inches of offset.
An offset adapter like the Ranch Hitch listed above will provide more clearance between the truck bumper and the trailer...

view full answer... - How to Determine Gross Trailer Weight Rating for 1999 Ford F-150 with 5.4L V8 Engine

view full answer... - Rearmost Bolt Hole Dimensions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 1999 Ford F-250
- It is true that the center of the rearmost bolt holes for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C14355 measure 32-11/16" on center, but since these bolt holes are oblong this trailer hitch will still fit your 1999 Ford F-250. If you note in the attached photo I show that the oblong holes range from about 32-1/8" at the closest part to about 35" at the the furthest part. Since your frame measures 32-11/16" it will fit just fine as the bolts you use for the installation are 1/2" bolts.
