Is The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 14301 The Correct Fit For A 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question

Question:

On my 2012 Silverado 1500 LT, the stock hitch that came on the truck has 3 mounting bolt for each side of the frame and 2 bolts that attached to the bumper. I notice that the Curt 14301 doesnt have the bumper mounting holes/plate at least in the picture, is that ok or do I need another part number? Thank you.
