Expert Reply:

Yes, you can use the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount item # 80232 with the Draw-Tite Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 18" Long item # HE18. Using this hitch extender will however reduce the capacity of the hitch on your 1999 F-350 by 50%.

I recommend using the Buyers Products Hitch Extender w/ Step - 2" Hitch - 18" Long item # 3371804017. It is the same length of 18" but will only reduce your hitches capacity by 1/3.
