For your 2008 Honda Element SC I would recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch part # 75659 which is a confirmed fit and has a 2 inch opening which will give you better capacities and more hitch accessory flexibility.
For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118465 which is also a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
If you wanted to do 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.
