For your 2004 GMC Yukon Denali I actually recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control Hitch # FA94-00-1033 instead of the Reese, Curt, or Blue Ox hitches. The 2-point sway control provides much better sway control and has no need for lift chains. This also works with a wider range of the hitch weights than the other brands. The no-drill, clamp-on brackets can be adjusted along the trailer frame which will accommodate frame-mounted items such as gas tanks, battery boxes, toolboxes, or generators. Installing this hitch is super simple and you won't face the binding issues some bars will give you. I've attached a video where David will show you how to install this hitch as well.
You'll also need an adjustable shank like the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Shank # FA92-02-4213 and a hitch ball with a 1-1/4" diameter shank.
