If your 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 is an LD model (there's no "HD" behind the 1500 on the truck emblems) then the only Firestone option is the part # F2320 that you referenced. If instead you have an HD model you'd be able to use the Ride Rite kit part # F2190.

The Sport Rite kit is not as robust as the Ride Rite kit but it's designed to be appropriately rated for the truck it's installed on. Basically these kits only allow you to tow the stock capacity of the truck in a more supported way and even if a super heavy duty kit was available you'd still be limited by the truck's capacity so it wouldn't gain you anything except cost you more money realistically.
