We do have a trailer htich that will work with your 1997 Sonoma with the rear pan bumper.
I recommend the Curt trailer Hitch, part # 13920. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. One tech note states the roll pan will need to be cut in the license plate area for receiver access. The trailer hitch you came from, part # 75085, is not designed to be able to work with your roll pan bumper.
If you plan on doing 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. http://www.etrailer.com/faq-ballmount.aspx
