The Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver For GM Express/Savana with Cutaway Chassis # 3371801102 is the only direct fit hitch for your 2004 Chevy Express Van Chassis Cutaway.

For a heavier duty hitch, you will need to weld the hitch in place and I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. This hitch is rated for up to 1,600 lbs tongue weight and up to 16,000 lbs towing. The hitch has a crosstube that is 44 inches long so it will work well on the 42 inch frame.

If you prefer a 2-1/2 inch receiver, the Buyers Products Class 5 Service Body Hitch Receiver # 3371801052 will have the same dimensions and capacity ratings.

I don't have anything with the 2,400 lb ideal capacity you were seeking for your vehicle.
