The Curt hitch part # 13322 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2004 Chevy Silverado and has more towing capacity than what your trailer would call for so it would work well for you. Here are it's capacities.
Maximum gross trailer weight: 6,000 lbs
Maximum tongue weight: 600 lbs
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
If you wanted to do 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.
