Hello James, thanks for reaching out. All of the gooseneck balls we offer have a 2-inch diameter shank. I am sorry to say we do not have anything with a 3" diameter shank. None of our manufacturers have anything with that shank size, so you may want to consider exchanging your gooseneck hitch with something more standard.
The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1059 comes with a gooseneck hitch, ball, and custom install kit for the 1999 Silverado 2500 LD.
