Expert Reply:
For your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with service body, I recommend using the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41944 which has a gross trailer weight (GTW) rating of 13,000 lbs and tongue weight (TW) rating of 1,950 lbs. The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame is a Class V hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. Please note that the vehicle will more than likely be the limiting factor in regards to GTW and TW capacities.
None of our aftermarket trailer hitch manufacturers test their trailer hitches on trucks with a service body but the above hitch will mount to the frame rails and does not require a factory bumper for installation like similar hitches that will. I have also attached an install video of the above hitch for reference.
