As long as you use a ball mount with enough drop to allow the trailer to be towed level and you are within the towing capacities of your 2011 Chevy Silverado then you would be fine to tow with it.

The Rapid Hitch part # AM3413 can do a drop of up to 10 inches so you would just need to take a few measurements to know if that would be enough. Measure from the top of the hitch opening to the ground on your truck and then measure from the bottom lip of the trailer coupler to the ground when it is sitting level. The difference between the two measurement is the amount of drop you would need.
