Helpful Expert Reply:

The trailer hitch that came off the 1999 Silverado will not fit the 99 Suburban. The structure of the hitch and the mounting flange and holes are different. If you let me know the manufacturer and model of the hitch you bought I can find out what vehicles it will work with.

If you need a trailer hitch for your Suburban I recommend part # C13402. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. This will fit the new body style that has the amber turn signals.

If you plan on doing some towing, you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

If you need a trailer wiring harness, I recommend part # C55319.
