Expert Reply:
The most common shank length for a 1 inch diameter ball hole, which is likely what is on the bumper for your 1999 Ford F-150, is 2-1/8 inches. But if you wanted to be safe you could go with a longer one. A shank length of 2-1/8 or 2-1/4 though should be just what you need. I have included a link to the hitch ball main page to the right so you can view the different balls we carry.
