Hey Manny,
Even with a smaller trailer, it is not overkill and you can absolutely benefit using the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # 325-GH-12001.
A trailer, regardless of size, is still going to be rigid, bounce, and affect the ride of your tow vehicle and the trailer. So adding some cushioning like you get with the Glyder is definitely a good idea, and something I recommend.
So if you do decide to go with the ball mount you'll also need a hitch ball, either the 2" # C54CR or 2-5/16" # C40007. For a hitch lock use part # e98881.
