Both the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch item # 31108 and the Draw-Tite item # 65028 are confirmed to fit the 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500's. I took a look at the installation instructions and capacities and they are as close to identical as you can get. I recommend going with the one that is the most cost effective.

I have linked an installation video below for each of these hitches along with the installation instructions so you can see how to get them set up. Both may require you to enlarge some mounting holes and if you have front mount hooks you will need to use that mounting hardware to install either hitch.

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch item # 31302 you referenced only fits the 1500 models.
